Edinburgh is now a blaze of Christmas lights and sounds and smells. The Christmas markets have arrived and the bustle of people buying trinkets and handmade decorations and gingerbread and hot toddies is all around when you go into town.
We went in to see for ourselves all the fun, as we always do every year. It gets better as our wee one gets older and understands more and can join in the fun and get excited about all the sights and sounds. The markets are truly magical and they are one quick way of getting you into the Christmas spirit if you're struggling to find it!
This year Princes Street Gardens has a magical garden for children to delight in. This is where you can meet Santa in his cabin and then after you've said hello you're led through a magical wardrobe into a fairy tale of pretty lights and trees to make your way through the maze of fairy lights and trees to the Elves cabin. It's lovely. There is a little red train circling the garden and above it all, in the German markets buzzing with shoppers, there is an ice rink too.
