Learn about Scotland's lighthouses at Edinburgh's Shining Lights exhibition


 
Travel & Tourism
Scotland's coastline is far safer today than it was a few hundred years ago and you can find out why at the Shining Lights exhibition in Edinburgh.

By visiting the city's National Museum of Scotland, you will learn how the country's 6,000 miles of jagged cliffs and 760 islands once made it one of the most dangerous spots on the globe for mariners.

In an effort to keep ships from sinking to a watery grave, a project was embarked upon to illuminate the coast by building lighthouses along the length of it.

These lighthouses were certainly an improvement on the huge bonfires that were lit above towers during the 17th century to act as a warning sign.

When you visit this fascinating exhibition, you will be taken on a journey from the Egyptian Pharos lighthouse of Alexandria more than 2,000 years ago right up to Scotland's automated system keeping the country's coast safe today - and which is all controlled from a central office in Edinburgh.

Models of the lighthouses, light displays, optics and interactive experiences will all be on offer to help you expand your knowledge of this life-saving feat.

During your time at the exhibition, you will also be able to find out more about the Bell Rock near Arbroath, which is thought to be the oldest rock lighthouse in the world and will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2011.

Of course, Edinburgh is famed for its historic buildings, including its narrow, winding streets and its iconic castle.

And history is not all that this city has to offer - it also knows a thing or two about great food.

For a truly unforgettable stay, you may wish to book into one of the beautiful and elegant guest rooms on offer at the 21212 Restaurant in Edinburgh.

This Georgian townhouse was brought back to its original glory in 2009 when chef Paul Kitching moved in and if its location right in the heart of the city, minutes away from the parliament buildings and shopping areas, was not reason enough to stay, the food should be.

In the same year it opened, 21212 was named the Best New Restaurant in the UK 2009 at the National Restaurant Awards and just eight months after the first meal was served, it had received a Michelin star.

All in all, a stay at 21212 could be the perfect end to an unforgettable break in Edinburgh.

Luxury Scotland can help you find the best hotel in Edinburgh for a city break. If Michelin-starred food is your thing, then the 21212 Restaurant in Edinburgh city centre may be the perfect guesthouse for you.
