Winter White

There are literally hundreds of white things to see and do during the winter in Edinburgh & Lothians!

Discover the splendour and white majesty of Concorde at East Fortune in East Lothian or the white light streaming through the stained glass windows of Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian. Take a walk in the 370 hectares of Beecraigs Country Park to the west of Edinburgh - you may even catch some snow – or take in the gorgeous fluffy white seals to be viewed live at the Seabird Centre.

For a taste of history check out Lauriston Castle, set in 30 acres of parkland with formal gardens and spectacular views looking over the white waves of the Firth of Forth and for a taste of Scotland discover the weekly Farmers’ Market, held every Saturday of the month in the city’s Castle Terrace. With up to 35 producers from all over Scotland - search out the white produce!
