History of the Thistle ~ The thistle was adopted as the Emblem of Scotland during the rein of Alexander III (1249 -1286). Legend has it that an Army of King Haakon of Norway, intent on conquering the Scots landed at the Coast of Largs at night to surprise the sleeping Scottish Clansmen. In order to move more stealthily under the cover of darkness, the Norsemen removed their footwear.

As the attacking Vikings approached the encamped Scots, they stood on a patch of Thistles with their barefeet and, of course, let out cries of pain as the thorns dug deep into the soles and toes. The Scots, having been awakened by this, were able to fight off the attackers. So, from that day, the Thistle has been adopted as Scotland's National Emblem.

 

Edinburgh Attractions

 
There is lots to do in Edinburgh all year round. There are five art galleries in total, including a portrait gallery, modern art gallery and The National Gallery of Scotland. These are open all year round and exhibit everyone from local artists to Monet.

If it's science you are interested in then the Royal Museum is situated in Chambers Street near the city centre. It is free to get in and has a new section dedicated to the history of Scotland.

For a more interactive experience, the Dynamic Earth is one of Edinburgh's most exciting, "must see" attractions. Take a thrilling journey back in time and learn about our planet Earth.

Edinburgh Zoo, the largest and most exciting wildlife attraction in Scotland, committed to the highest standards of animal welfare, conservation and environmental education.

If you come in August you will catch the Edinburgh International Festival and the Festival Fringe, more comedy, film, dance and theatre in one place than you have ever seen before. The Edinburgh Military Tattoo and firework display is on at Edinburgh Castle.

For drinking and eating Edinburgh has a wide variety of restaurants and bars many of which open until 3am (or 4am at festival time). If it a wee dram you are after then the Whiskey Heritage Center will introduce you to all the different processes that make Scotch Whisky unique and a chance to sample a few.

For fine Indian dining we recommend the award winning Suruchi restaurant.
 

B&B Location
 
The Thistle House is centrally located on the south side of the City of Edinburgh in a very nice area of town (see map). It is only a 10-15 minute bus ride into the Edinburgh city centre.

Getting to Edinburgh
Air - Edinburgh airport is situated to the west of Edinburgh. It is served by most domestic and international air operators. An airport bus or taxi ride from the airport takes around half an hour and costs around £7 or £20 respectively.

Rail - Edinburgh Waverley station is in the heart of Edinburgh's historic city centre, so you will soak up the festival atmosphere as soon as you step off the train. The Scotrail shuttle service to Glasgow takes around 40 mins.
