The Dalmahoy Hotel and Country club might be outside the city proper, but it does come with 1000 acres of its own land, inclusive of two 18 hole golf courses. The Dalmahoy is situated about 7 and a half miles from the city centre, so bring a car or track down access to public transport links. To be fair, if you are reclining in luxury at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club, you might not even need to see the sites.

Ideal for hosting your perfect Scottish wedding, this location is part castle, part stately home. It even has two turrets. Like something out of a medieval play, this hotel comes with its own banqueting rooms for hire, onsite catering, and an indoor pool. There are two divine restaurants on site, a fitness centre, and free parking… now you don’t get that in Edinburgh central.

Built in 1725, this former historic home has a championship golf course recognised by the PGA. You can enjoy the gardens and parkland, hit the sauna or steam room, and even play tennis onsite. This is opulence, but opulence designed for the rich… why not grab a week here and see how the other half live?
