To add to the experience we also dined at the castle, as a treat. The castle offers an option of children's menus, either a standard three-course menu, with kids' favorites (fish fingers, sausages etc), or a half adult portion, they really did offer an option to suit all.

The children were so well behaved, totally engrossed in the castle's history, and the memorabilia which is displayed in each of the rooms. Followed by historic tales and ghost stories by the castle staff, it set the kids up with tales and stories to keep them amused all the way home!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19178 Edinburgh-flats.com http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18935 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18935 Hotel and apartments accommodation http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18524 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18524 Rooms in Edinburgh http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18319 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18319 The Balmoral Hotel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18309 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18309 Edinburgh First http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17691 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17691 Osbourne Hotel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17690 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17690 Travelodge Central http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17688 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17688 Rooms in Scotland http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17651 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17651 Church of St John the Evangelist, Edinburgh http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17646
The church is a fine building and its stained glass is remarkable for the consistency of its design. Most of the windows were made in the studios of Ballantine and Allen of Edinburgh. Where the appearance of most churches has evolved over many centuries, St John the Evangelist offers a concentrated view of largely Nineteenth century Scottish style and design.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17646
