Five Sisters Zoo
Review
We have some of Scotland’s biggest attractions in my book and we also feature some of Scotland’s biggest hidden gems, in my opinion, Five Sisters Zoo is both of those rolled into one. I’m not too sure whether or not Brian & Shirley Curran, the owners of the zoo, actually knew how popular their zoo was going to be when they transformed from a busy garden centre with a small number of animals, to one of Scotland’s best zoos, but believe me, this place took me totally by surprise. Just a little over 165 different species of animals reside at this attraction and all are cared for wonderfully. Five Sisters Zoo isn’t like any of the big guys, the animals come before profits and I really liked this about the place. The entrance fee is reasonable and the staff are super friendly, you’ll have a great time here, be prepared to stay all day though!

Riccarton Inn Pub & Dining
Perfectly positioned just outside Edinburgh, Riccarton Pub & Dining offers a wonderfully affordable alternative to the city’s often eye-watering hotel prices. With a handful of cosy, comfortable bedrooms, this family-owned establishment provides everything you need for a relaxing stay without breaking the bank. Having personally stayed at their sister pub in Peebles, I can confidently vouch for the family's commitment to quality, hospitality and genuine value for money.
