I love Edinburgh at any time of the year but more and more lately we're visiting in winter and it's really a pretty great time to visit then actually.

Another note: if you’re visiting around the holidays, you can’t miss a visit to The Dome to see the pillars lit up with thousands of tiny lights! Pop inside for a view of their huge Christmas tree, too. Another favorite building with pretty holiday decor is the Edinburgh Grand, so keep that on the list.
