Read on for our guide to things to do on a rainy day in Edinburgh! In Scotland we can’t rely on the weather, infact we often get all four seasons in one day! Although, as Billy Connolly said  ‘There’s no such this as bad weather- only the wrong clothes’.

However, we can’t let the weather dampen your city break in Edinburgh! If you don’t have the correct clothes, or just prefer not to be out in the rain, here are a few of our suggestions for things to do on a rainy day in Edinburgh!

The National Museum of Scotland is a great way to spend a day, there is so much to see and it’s free.

The Scotch Whisky Experience does tours and tastings, follow the link to their website for booking options.

Taking a City Bus Tour is a great way to explore the city and decide what attractions you might like to visit more of.

Visit the Edinburgh Gin Distillery, booking is recommended- it is very popular!

The Scottish National Portrait Gallery is a short walk from us, it also had a lovely Cafe.

Visit the Museums & Galleries Edinburgh website for all the current exhibitions and information.

If we can give any other recommendations, just let us know!
