Hi everyone,
This weekend my boyfriend and I went
on a little get away to Edinburgh. It was really nice to spend some time
together and look around the city which is just so pretty. It also really got
me in the festive spirit as there were some Christmas markets and everywhere
was lit up with sparkly lights ready for the big day. Although this is a little
different for me, I thought I would share some photos with you from our mini
break and some things that we did and saw :)
The Street of Lights
The Street of Lights is set up on the
Royal Mile and was created by Virgin Money. It consists of 60,000 lights which
all dance in sync to a choir which sings at intervals throughout the evening.
I’ve never seen anything like it before, it was so pretty and really put me in
the Christmas mood!
Edinburgh Castle
We didn’t actually go round the castle
as it was sooo windy and rainy that day but it was still nice to go up and see
it briefly. I would like to go back one day and have a good look round,
although it is a little pricey as it would have been £33 to get tickets for my
boyfriend and me.
Edinburgh Christmas
Markets
I love a good Christmas market and the
one in Edinburgh certainly didn’t disappoint. The food there was so yummy and
there was a big wheel that we went on to get a view over Edinburgh at night.
There was also a Christmas tree maze which was probably meant more for the
children but that didn’t stop us enjoying it :)
Shopping on Princes
Street
You can’t go to Edinburgh without
doing a spot on shopping on Princes Street. My favourite was Jenners where they
had a humongous Christmas tree and loads of fairy lights making it feel a bit
like Santa’s Grotto.
I think we crammed a fair amount into
the three days that we were there and I feel like I have never done so much
walking! It was a really lovely trip though and I would definitely recommend visiting Edinburgh if you haven’t been before!
Have you ever been to Edinburgh? Is it
somewhere you would like to visit?
Thanks for reading,

The Street of Lights is breathtaking, I wish I could go and see it. I haven't been to Edinburgh before but I definitely want to visit now :)
