In just over a month I’ll be touching down in Edinburgh for three weeks of cultural immersion. Auld Reekie, as it used to be known, is one of the most interesting and beautiful cities in Europe. Many of my recent posts have touched on intriguing aspects of this beguiling city, and maybe they’ve started you thinking about making a quick jaunt over to bonnie Scotland.

I’m happy to announce that I can help you out!

    3. Kathy Green February 23, 2011 at 8:48 am

      Spend quality time with hubby while visiting and enjoying Edinburgh for the first time ever

  2. Jesse January 28, 2011 at 10:42 am

    I would love to be able to see the military tattoo in Scotland!

  3. Francesca January 28, 2011 at 11:34 am

    I just want to go to Scotland! I have no idea how I’d spend my time in Edinburgh, but I know I’ll love it.

  4. Travis Patton January 28, 2011 at 11:38 am

    If I win, would visit some of the great places you have mentioned and also see the beautiful landscape around.

  5. Jessica January 28, 2011 at 11:54 am

    I would get to explore all of the things I missed the first time!

  6. Ana January 28, 2011 at 11:59 am

    My husband and I got married last July and wanted to go to Scotland on our honeymoon. Alas, it did not work out, so if I win I take take him on a belated honeymoon!

  7. Dustin Main - Skinny Backpacker January 28, 2011 at 12:01 pm

    I’m in! I have a friend in Scotland who has been harassing me to come and visit for a year, and winning this would be the perfect excuse. I can bring them along, free tour guides!!

  8. Mark January 28, 2011 at 12:03 pm

    I would love to have an excuse to go to Edinburgh!

  9. Scott January 28, 2011 at 12:05 pm

    Pub crawls, exploring Edinburgh castle, and cultural immersion.

  10. Sian January 28, 2011 at 12:06 pm

    I would love to visit when the Fringe is on!

  11. Andy January 28, 2011 at 12:09 pm

    I’d love to go to the festival. Also go on a ghost walk tour and stock up on some Edinburgh rock!

  12. Jessica January 28, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    Wow, If I were to win I would spend hours walking through the city getting to know the people, as well as the sights.

  13. Tim Kubichek January 28, 2011 at 2:11 pm

    If I win, my friend Chuck and I will tour the country in style while sampling as much of the local food and drink as possible!

  14. Christine January 28, 2011 at 2:19 pm

    I would love to delve deep into my Scottish descent. A trip to Edinburgh would be delightful–I picture pubs, green countryside, a bustling city…

  15. Shannon January 28, 2011 at 3:43 pm

    I would love to use the power of twitter to have people suggest things for me to do. I think it would be a kick in the pants to have them decide where to go, what to see and where to eat!

  16. Geeky Traveler January 28, 2011 at 3:44 pm

    I’ve always wanted to go there.

    Castles, Whiskey and Bagpipes. Sounds like heaven to me.

  17. Matt Hope January 28, 2011 at 4:50 pm

    I’ll already be in London later this year for work, so this would be a nice break from things!

  18. Globetrottergirls January 28, 2011 at 7:27 pm

    Awesome competition!!

    We’ve jsut signed up for the HomeAway newsletter – why do we want to go back to Edinburgh?

    We didn’t manage to sample all the whiskeys in the whiskey destillery last time we were there, so we HAVE TO go back and finish this task. We also heard that there is a vegetarian version of Haggis (how??) which we’d love to try, and see what else we find time for (other than drinking, eating and enjoying the luxurious apartment 😉 …)

  19. Kris January 28, 2011 at 10:20 pm

    I would hunt for the best scotch whiskey in town!

    1. William Wallace February 15, 2011 at 1:21 pm

      You might want to learn how to spell it first.

  20. Anthony January 29, 2011 at 1:38 am

    Swanky! I’d run the Edinburgh 10k, then celebrate on the night with ironic drunken debauchery. Then walk it off in the morning to a wee visit of Great Friar’s Bobby. If Edinburgh doesn’t captivate you-check your heartbeat.

  21. Nikki January 29, 2011 at 2:27 am

    Have many close friends in Scotland and would LOVE to spend as much time with them as possible! This would give me just the opportunity to do so!

  22. Steve January 29, 2011 at 7:13 am

    Turn off my BlackBerry, wander aimlessly, fill up a couple of memory cards with photos, eat, drink and enjoy

  23. andi January 29, 2011 at 8:49 am

    Oh wow, how exciting! I would love to return and see more of Edinburgh!!!

  24. Tarek massud January 29, 2011 at 12:03 pm

    I would love to visit scotland

  25. gregory January 29, 2011 at 1:06 pm

    If I win this, I’m gonna hang out with @jools_octavius and tour some of the spots that I’ve read about in the Ian Rankin/Inspector Rebus novels. I’d also like to drink at the Oxford Bar.

  26. Cathy Sweeney January 29, 2011 at 1:26 pm

    This is a great contest. I’ve never been to Edinburgh, so my time would be very well spent seeing the sights, eating, drinking – whatever I can fit in! (I’d also love to meet @jools_octavius if he was in town!)

  27. Brenna [fabuleuxdestin] January 29, 2011 at 2:56 pm

    My roomie is Scottish and I’m dying to get there to learn more about his culture. Would love love love to win this trip!

    1. Keith Savage January 29, 2011 at 5:37 pm

      I just want to clarify that this prize is for a week’s stay in a luxury apartment and does not include travel and other costs.

  28. Jen January 29, 2011 at 5:09 pm

    I would drink scotch with my boyfriend.

  29. Poi January 30, 2011 at 6:31 am

    Like last time I was in Scotland, I would spend most my time in the pubs trying out all the different tasty bitters!

  30. Niall McTeague January 30, 2011 at 7:45 am

    Thoroughly recommend Edinburgh – I live in Glasgow and never tire of visiting it. You have to experience the Fringe too – awesome atmosphere 24/7.
    Maybe see some of you there. Love doing photography there too.

  31. Jul January 30, 2011 at 12:45 pm

    I would bring my new travel easel and paint up a storm. Edinburgh has such picturesque architecture.

  32. Vivian January 30, 2011 at 2:32 pm

    A revisit to Edinburgh would give me an opportunity to sip a dram or two of whiskey and take a train up to the Morays where my ancestors lived.

    1. William Wallace February 15, 2011 at 1:24 pm

      You might want to learn how to spell it first

  33. Tara January 30, 2011 at 2:41 pm

    I have traveled the world but have never made it to Scotland, I would love to take my family there!

  34. Cam January 30, 2011 at 4:25 pm

    Great contest! Would love to visit Edinburgh again… we went in the winter last time, so it would be nice to experience in the summer!

  35. Michelle January 31, 2011 at 12:07 am

    I would love to return to Scotland so I can spend more than a day in Edinburgh – walking the cobblestone streets, touring the castle, strolling through museums, taking a ridiculous number of photographs, and devouring delicious food and bevarages (whiskey, anyone?). Plus, I must visit the surrounding countryside. Cheers!

  36. Alexis January 31, 2011 at 12:17 am

    I just got my UK working visa, so I would spend the week applying for jobs and networking with the locals

  37. Matt January 31, 2011 at 3:15 am

    I’d eat haggis until I popped.

  38. Kymri January 31, 2011 at 1:09 pm

    I would definitely spend a week enjoying the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and I’d love to photograph and blog about various performances and events.

  39. Sarah Puckett January 31, 2011 at 6:37 pm

    I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland 🙂

  40. Michael Hodson February 2, 2011 at 12:32 am

    Hmmmm, Scotland. The plan is golf. No, pubs. No, sightseeing. Arrrgggg. OK. Golf in the a.m. Then sightseeing. The pubs. Or maybe pubs before sightseeing. Screw it, I’m just confused now.

  41. Emily Hyndman February 2, 2011 at 12:40 am

    Hmm, I’d just have to use it for my honeymoon, should it be available. If not, I’d have to use it for another fantastic after my wedding, because neither I nor my fiance have been to Scotland yet 🙂

  42. Tiffany Harrison February 2, 2011 at 12:42 am

    Going back to Edinburgh would be like going to my second home. The people, the culture, the haggis–the hard part will be leaving!!

  43. jen February 3, 2011 at 1:06 pm

    If I win I would spend my time making up for lost time, which I can’t get back, but if I could, would spend traveling.

  44. Gillian @OneGiantStep February 3, 2011 at 5:05 pm

    Oooohhh, I’m in for sure!! I would surely be able to find a scotch I like in the land of scotch!! Cheers!

  45. Ryan February 4, 2011 at 9:33 am

    This is great! If I were to win this stay I would give it to my father for his 50th Birthday coming up next month. Please choose me and help me send my father off on a relaxing trip to Edinburgh! 😉

  46. Joseph February 5, 2011 at 7:00 am

    First of all I would hunt down (well, not hunt down but maybe find) J.K.Rowling and convince her to talk to me a little bit, or just take a picture (I’m harmless, I will not hurt anyone, I promise)…then I would immerse (and most likely get lost) in the beauty that is Edinburgh. Hopefully if there’s time (if there’s not than I will make some) visit some castles (the haunted ones would be on top of the list), pubs (just for Dad) and in the end hop over to the Isle of Skye!

  47. Natalie February 5, 2011 at 6:05 pm

    Perfect contest!

    I’m hopefully visiting the UK this year and with a week stay Edinburgh I’d get a chance to extend my travel plans out from London where I’ll most likely be. I’d love to do some scotch tastings (I have a nice collection), tour some historic sites and hopefully get the timing right to see some festivals.

    I haven’t been to the UK and can’t wait.

    Have a great trip! 🙂

  48. Daryle February 6, 2011 at 8:03 pm

    I would visit the 5 pubs you wrote about recently, and probably several more!

  49. Rory MacLean February 7, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    When I win I plan on exploring all the pubs that Edinburgh has to offer, and working on my best Scottish accent.

  50. Lisa February 8, 2011 at 7:04 pm

  52. Suzette February 10, 2011 at 3:27 am

    Edinburgh is a place that I have always wanted to visit. Wining this prize would give me the perfect reason to make the trip happen. I would explore all the nooks and crannies of Edinburgh. When I travel, I love to hang out with the locals, this is how I really get to know a place. Yes the guidebooks give great advice, but locals know all the hidden gems that are not to be missed.

  53. Fiona February 12, 2011 at 10:11 am

  56. Lisa Pardoe February 12, 2011 at 11:02 am

    I lived in Edinburgh many years ago. I would love to go back and show my daughter all the sights. My husband would also love this as being only 10 minutes from Princess street we could go shopping and he could stay in bed!

    If I got a week’s free stay in Scotland, I’d definitely add it to my RTW, especially since your blog entries about it are whetting my travel appetite. *crossing fingers for luck* (When signing up, I used my a different email address than the one I use for my blog and travel posts, FYI.)

  122. Steve Hitchman February 13, 2011 at 11:52 am

  141. Ruth Tesdale February 14, 2011 at 3:39 pm

    I want to relive the best moment of our honeymoon of climbing Authur’s Seat just before dawn and seeing sunrise over the city and seeing it sparkle again in golds and terracottas

  142. Jonathan McCullough February 15, 2011 at 7:35 am

  153. Sarah February 15, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    I would love to check out the Fringe, as I hail from a town that hosts its own version and would love to experience the world’s best! I may even be brave enough to try the famed haggis this time (though may need to first sample the famed whiskey to help work up the courage!)

  154. Bette Congdon February 15, 2011 at 1:43 pm

    I would treat my daughter who got made redundant last year and has not been on holiday since.

  155. Mike Ball February 15, 2011 at 1:45 pm

  169. Carol Hibbert February 15, 2011 at 3:06 pm

  177. Christine Williams February 15, 2011 at 4:39 pm

    This would make a great base for exploring Edinburgh, my eldest daughter is always saying she wants to visit Scotland, so this would be an ideal opportunity to go.

  178. C Noakes February 15, 2011 at 5:21 pm

    I would love to take my Mum to her most favourite place in Scotland and spend some quality, relaxing time with her without having to stress about getting her home again on the train. As there is always so many different things to do and see in Edinburgh we would be able to take our time and enjoy places like Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Yacht Britannia and Holyrood Palace Edinburgh, The Royal Botanic Garden to name but a few. Not forgetting the shops of course in Princes Street and Leith’s Ocean Terminal !

  184. Yin February 15, 2011 at 6:34 pm

    Having worked in Edinburgh I have never actually stayed there and so immersed myself in all that it offers. If I win I would like to discover this great city as a tourist seeing it with fresh eyes

  185. Ross W February 15, 2011 at 6:37 pm

    I got married in the ‘Burgh, have friends and family there and always enjoy spending time there, so this would make for a great win.

  186. Gail February 15, 2011 at 6:39 pm

    I would love to win this fantastic prize would love to visit edinburgh,heard so much about this wonderful place,would love to see the sights myself.
    Thank You.

  187. Delia Billingham February 15, 2011 at 6:49 pm

    My son recently married and went to live a few miles from Edinburgh. This week would give me the opportunity to get to know his bride and her family better and to see my son. I miss him!

  188. Laura Raphel February 15, 2011 at 8:23 pm

    I would spend my time in Edinburgh being romantic with my boyfriend. We would take in the bars on George Street, stroll around the gardens, then walk up to Arthur’s seat and take in the view with a picnic lunch (weather permitting).

  189. Angela Campbell February 15, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    This Zoo Keeper needs to return her ape/husband back to Edinburgh Zoo!

  193. Joseph Watson February 16, 2011 at 3:00 am

    Only been to Edinburgh once and it rained all day so I would like the opportunity to visit for a longer period. My wife really loves Scotland having holidayed there numerous times with her family before we were married and she would dearly love to go again.

  194. Laura A February 16, 2011 at 3:01 am

    I would go back to malmaison for my lunch after a great day shopping. I really enjoyed it when I went a couple of years ago. Best meal ever!

    Its about time my children saw some of their ancestral home!

  203. Jess Wilkinson February 16, 2011 at 7:12 am

  204. Vikki Harman February 16, 2011 at 7:26 am

  205. Catherine February 16, 2011 at 7:34 am

  206. Manish Sharma February 16, 2011 at 7:54 am

    If I win, I will enjoy the scenic beauty and historic places of Edinburgh with my wife

  207. Janet Higgins February 16, 2011 at 8:10 am

  209. Lulu February 16, 2011 at 8:58 am

  213. Emma Eccles February 16, 2011 at 9:33 am

    Having a few good nights out, theatre, eating, drinking and history trips

  214. Patricia Owen February 16, 2011 at 10:12 am

    I ‘ve seen super photos Edinburgh and the surrounding area taken by friends so I booked to visit just before Christmas. We didn’t make it – the snow arrived with a vengeance . I’d love to try again and the apartment looks much better than where we were going to stay originally so it would be a real treat. I’d take my camera!

  215. Claire Vollmer February 16, 2011 at 10:16 am

  216. Millicent Jones February 16, 2011 at 10:24 am

  217. Dave Mills February 16, 2011 at 10:27 am

    My wife has always wanted to see a Military Tattoo (at the castle- not on anyone’s skin) and I’ve always wanted to visit the ghost walks as seen on the Rebus TV series-if I had the opportunity.

  218. Ella February 16, 2011 at 10:33 am

    Edinburgh is a beautiful city. Friends of mine are performing in the Edinburgh Festival this year so I’d love to be able to go up there a support their shows. Plus visit the castle and have a good ol’ shop on Princes Street!

  223. Lawrence Clack February 16, 2011 at 12:32 pm

    For me it would be breakfast at the City Cafe, picnic in Princess st gardens for lunch, wander round the portrait gallery in the afternoon then bars and clubs in the evening. Repeat until hometime!

  224. Allan Mees February 16, 2011 at 12:40 pm

    I’ve worked in Edinburgh most of my life but never had time to really wander the streets and get to know Auld Reekie

  225. Eve February 16, 2011 at 12:46 pm

    I want to take my boyfriend and suprise him since we can’t afford a holiday this year. 🙁

  228. saima February 16, 2011 at 3:17 pm

  229. natalie hart February 16, 2011 at 3:32 pm

    Would love to soak up the culture in Edinburgh

  235. alvina boyd February 17, 2011 at 9:06 am

    Never been to Edinburgh – looks like a wonderful city with great architecture

  236. Kate Bossons February 17, 2011 at 9:51 am

    This would be a an amazing opportunity for us to take our 2 boys on holiday, we don’t have the option of flying or going somewhere too busy as our youngest is autistic. He needs to spend time in wide open spaces (which I’ve heard scotland has a lot of!) as he can’t stand crowds. It would be lovely for us to still be able to get away as a family.

  237. Lauren February 17, 2011 at 10:11 am

    Of all the places I’ve been in Europe, the four days I was able to spend in Edinburgh were perhaps the best. Have you ever arrived in a city and it just felt right? That’s how it was last time. Everything about Edinburgh intrigues me and I cannot wait for my opportunity to go back. If I had the opprotunity, I would defintiely explore more of the history. I felt like last time I barely got at the surface of all that Edinburgh has to offer. There are so many places just filled with history and I would love the opportunity to just explore them all. I would probably do a repeat of more than one of the activities I did last time- definitely going back to Edinburgh castle – but I also just want to explore more of just the city. For a city that felt so much like coming home the first time I was there, there is still so much more to know.

  238. chyna February 17, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    If I win, I’d take my hubby and we would have a blast!!!

  239. Rachel Williams February 17, 2011 at 4:04 pm

    I’ve never been to Scotland, so would take my lovely husband/driver and use it to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

  240. Heather Shaw February 18, 2011 at 5:45 am

    I would like to explore. Explore the shops, the culture and the history of the place

  241. Ali Ogilvie February 18, 2011 at 6:24 am

    I adore Edinburgh but have only made flying visits in the past en route to other places, I would love to take my husband (a Jambos fan) to see Hearts play at Tynecastle if I won!

  268. Sue Stevenson February 22, 2011 at 3:21 am

    Have been to Edinburgh for a weekend a few years ago when we got a cheap flight from Luton. We travelled to the airport from Nottingham so it took longer to get there than the flight! I’d love to go again again, a couple of days did not do it justice and I’d love the chance to see what else this beautiful city has to offer….though this time I don’t think I’d fly from Luton…

  269. Tinny February 22, 2011 at 5:26 am

  280. CRAIG JEFFERY February 22, 2011 at 6:34 pm

    There is so much to see and do – where would I even start? Theres the lazy days in the winter sun sat in coffee shops watching the world go by, Theres the busy days exploring the multicultural world that is the city, Theres the time exploring and learning the heritage or Scotland and Edinburgh, besides wining and dining the other half, and making full use of the luxury looking apartment – This seems like an ideal way to truly explore the real Edinburgh and have a great time doing so, would be a great prize to win, really hope I am lucky

  281. Rebecca Ruff February 23, 2011 at 5:14 am

    I went to Edinburgh quite frequently in my teens (The Bay City Rollers have a lot to answer for!!) and would love to go again, probably more for the shopping and the culture this time though …..

  293. shirl February 23, 2011 at 10:19 am

    Well I would hope by the end of the week that we would eventuallyhave managed to climb to the top of Arthurs Seat!

  294. Sarah J February 23, 2011 at 10:39 am
