Edinburgh with kids: a long weekend
Castle, museum, zoo, ghost tours — three days that work for under-12s.
Edinburgh is one of the easier UK cities for a family weekend: compact, walkable, dense with attractions that aren't exclusively grown-up. Plan it as a day each on the Royal Mile, Holyrood + Calton Hill, and the zoo or Camera Obscura.
