The Lothians / Midlothian region

East Central Scotland offers much choice for the visitor. History, countryside, sports, wildlife, walking and touring. For golf fans there are many championship courses within a few miles of Edinburgh & inside the City boundary there are a number of excellent courses. St Andrews is 50 miles north in Fife, while Gullane & Muirfield are 20 miles east in East Lothian. For hill-walkers and countryside folks Arthur's Seat and The Pentland Hills are immediately south of the city and within a few miles further south you are into the Scottish Borders. Head north across the Forth Road Bridge and the walking possibilities are endless.

This part of Scotland is full of history, much of it associated with the Royal Houses of Bruce & Stewart. Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, Dunbar, Jedburgh and others are all within 1 hours drive. The castles of Edinburgh and Stirling are phenomenal vistas as are the Bridges at South Queensferry.

The Edinburgh / Bruntsfield area

The City of Edinburgh is famous world-wide for its Festivals and its Castle. Like many iconic cities, it is compact and is easy to walk around. The Castle acts as a landmark that can be seen anywhere. August is Festival time when the world focuses on the famous Fringe and International Festivals. June & July are also now home to the Film Festival and other, smaller events are popping up all the time. December sees the Christmas markets as well as the impressive annual Hogmanay Event. In between these times Edinburgh offers the visitor a fantastic range of attractions, shopping in world-class store like Harvey Nichols, and the best restaurants in Scotland with offerings from Martin Wishart, David Bann and many, many more.

Edinburgh is also a university town and has a large population of transient students. This means that as well as gourmet-style restaurants there is also a large contingent of well-priced local fare and many pubs and bars offering cheaper drinks and live music. There is something for everyone; from the chic bars in George Street to the attractions of Leith.

Bruntsfield is a young family village, just south west of the castle between Morningside, Tolcross, The Meadows, Marchmont and Fountainbridge. Like London or New York, these villages-in-the-city are self-contained and worth exploring in their own right. Most locals entertain themselves in these villages as the City Centre (Downtown) can be expensive. The Townhouse is located equistant from the villages of Bruntsfield, Marchmont & Morningside. All are within 500m walk in either direction.

Highlights in Bruntsfield; Peckhams Deli, Bisque (bar/restaurant), Papalinos (Italian), Montpeliers (bar/restaurant), Howies (restaurant), Cafe Grande (Spanish), Lee On (Chinese), Lemon Grass (Thai). Also a Tesco Metrol at Holy Corner.

Highlights in Marchmont; Earl of Marchmont (bar), Sweet Melindas (restaurant), Eddies (fishmonger), Black Medicine (coffee shop), Toast (cafe), Artista (cafe). A number of grocery stores for milk, bread, news, etc.

Highlights in Morningside; Waitrose (supermarket), many coffee shops (Nero, Costa), Merlin (bar), many restaurants (Nepalese, Indian, Spanish)
