If you are planning on heading to the beautiful city of Edinburgh to enjoy a weekend in a luxury hotel, make sure you check out the wide range of hotel discounts which can make a stay here really affordable - and give you plenty of money left over to enjoy its best hotspots. Many people head to Edinburgh hotels to soak up the interesting culture and history that the city has to offer and with stunning buildings such as the Edinburgh Castle and Nelson's monument dotted around, it is not hard to see why. Keen historians should definitely head to the castle to learn all about the bloody history of Scotland, its feuds with the English and its most interesting monarchs. The view of Edinburgh afforded those who climb to the top of the castle is amazing and from here, you may be able to spot the Nelson monument. Built to honour Horatio Nelson and his victories over both France and Spain at the Battle of Trafalgar, the column is the national monument of Scotland and is also protected as a listed structure. Head to Calton Hill and you will see this beautiful piece of architecture standing tall above the city below. Another famous Edinburgh sight is the Royal Mile, home to all things traditionally Scottish. Here you will be able to pick up great examples of Scottish tweed and check, as well as cashmere clothing and, of course, kilts. You can also learn about the delicious Scottish tipple, whiskey, at the Whiskey Heritage Centre on the mile. Stroll right to the end of the stretch and you will be at the home of Scottish parliament, Holyrood. Make sure you don't miss the stunning Holyrood Palace and fountain which can be found here. Those keen to soak up as much history as possible could head out on one of the many Royal Mile tours. Fans of spooky stories should plump for one of the late night strolls, which reveal all about the ghostly goings on often reported in this part of town. After an evening of shocks, why not treat yourself to a purchase from a designer boutique? You'll find the best shops in Edinburgh down Princes Street, which is also an ideal stop-off point to enjoy a cake and a cup of tea while the busy world passes by. Why not take advantage of some of the many hotel discounts available in the Scottish capital this year and soak up the wide range of culture on offer? There are many Edinburgh hotels to choose from, from trendy boutiques to cosy B&Bs.
