Many of my friends (and maybe some of my regular readers) will know how much I love The Highlands of Scotland. I’m sure I must have mentioned it a few times and I have hundreds of photos. Pre-children The Highlands was a great place to visit for a relaxing holiday but there’s no such thing as a relaxing holiday now, is there?… Though I’m sure we will visit again at some point when the children are a little older.

Nowadays with an active inquisitive toddler in tow, then we need to head for destinations with plenty to do & see. Another more vibrant place I have always wanted to visit in Scotland is Edinburgh. We have only really done one city break and that was London. We were nearby to Edinburgh a few years ago and were going to have a little day trip there but we never got the chance, though I think at least a weekend of it is needed really with so much to do; Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh Zoo, The Royal Mile, Royal Botanic Garden, art galleries.. I could go on! We would probably stay in a Travelodge hotel which are great for families.
All of the above would be on our must-do list as everywhere we go I have to visit a castle – I love them, and the history behind them is a great educator for the boys. J loves animals and could spend all day going back & forth so the zoo is a must. I love floral (and nature) photography so again, the Botanic Garden is a must, plus I could still get a little bit of relaxation then. Oh, and I could probably burn off enough calories with walking to fit in some yummy food too! Though when we do manage to fit in a visit, I must remember my posh camera and plenty of batteries!
If this has whet your appetite and you fancy a night away then I am so happy to be able to offer you the chance to win an overnight stay at a Travelodge of your choice! Just complete the Rafflecopter below and cross everything – good luck!
