Private jet 1 h · road 8 h
Edinburgh — the Athens of the North — is reached most elegantly by FFGR Jets in one hour from Farnborough or Luton (the road journey is eight hours minimum). The city's Old Town and New Town are jointly UNESCO-listed; the Royal Mile rises from Holyroodhouse Palace to Edinburgh Castle. August brings the Edinburgh International Festival, the Tattoo and the Fringe simultaneously — book hotels twelve months ahead. FFGR London coordinates onward transfers to Gleneagles, Cromlix and the Highlands.
