Many thanks for your review Princes Street Suites.

Enter a Scottish archaeological mystery this winter.
‘Edinburgh’s best kept secret,’ Gilmerton Cove, is one of the country’s most mysterious heritage sites that has left experts dumbfounded for over two centuries. No one can decide on what the seven carved tunnels were used for, with furniture carved from stone, a well, a blacksmiths forge and many other incredible features; so decide for yourself on an hour-long, guided tour.
Booking in advance is required for entry, with tickets starting at £5 for children and £10 for adults.
