Car hire Edinburgh information
Edinburgh is the capital city of
Scotland but manages to ooze a nice warm vibe which can be lost in a lot of capital cities. This is mainly due to how green Edinburgh is and its close proximity to the countryside and coastline. Even when you are in the heart of the city centre, the coast is easily within driving distance.
Car hire road trip around the Lothians
They may feel like a different world but the Lothians are very close to Edinburgh. The Lothians are made up of East Lothian, Midlothian, and West Lothian, which together represent the capital city’s countryside and coast. East Lothian is perhaps the most glamorous of the three with idyllic beaches and rolling hills. West Lothian is well located between Edinburgh and
Glasgow and is the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. Finally, Midlothian is the nearest to Edinburgh, less than ten miles and is famous as the home of the Rosslyn Chapel, mentioned by Dan Brown in The Da Vinci Code.
Visit famous Edinburgh in your hire car
