Edinburgh, Scotland is such an exciting holiday destination that few people have the time to get day trips in but if you’re lucky enough to have an extended holiday, you should make it a point to go see Camond Island. If your Edinburgh accommodation is near the Lothian Buses service Route 41, this will be a breeze.
Most Edinburgh apartments are near public transportation. Some Edinburgh self catering apartments even come with free off street parking so if you have a car with you, even better. Cramond Island is the only island in the Firth of Forth that has a low tie walkway. Be warned that it is a one mile walk each way so plan ahead so you don’t get stranded at high tide.
For people who are tired of crass commercialism at holiday destinations, you’ll like Ceamond Island. It was an important fortification during WWII and deserted fortifications are scattered about on the island. There are no military-themed parks or souvenir stands, just silent reminders of the war. If you have older children, they will love the idea of walking to an island, just be sure to wear comfortable, non-slip shoes.
While there is so much to see ad do in the city, your Edinburgh accommodation can be a base for many exciting adventures like Cramond Island. It’s your holiday to do with as you please.
