Romantic places in Edinburgh

Edinburgh in Scotland sits within easy reach of a remarkable collection of romantic escapes. Ruined fortresses and castle estates dot the surrounding countryside — Aberdour Castle, Barnbougle Castle and Balgonie Castle among them, alongside the grander Airth Castle and the quietly secluded Balvaird Castle. For those drawn to historic engineering, the Avon Aqueduct and Almondell Aqueduct offer scenic, unhurried walks. From the weathered walls of Barnes Castle and Ardross Castle to more intact estate settings, the area around Edinburgh gives couples a varied and atmospheric backdrop beyond the city itself.
