The Edinburgh Festival

Edinburgh is known as the Festival City and provides all year round Cultural Activities. In July and August every year it is Festival time in the Capital City, with both the International Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe. The Star & Garter is the ideal base for festival goers – catch a train from Linlithgow and you will be in Edinburgh in 18 minutes, take in a show and jump on the last train back to the Star & Garter for a night cap.

The convenience of the train station is well worth considering when looking for a good hotel with ease of access to the wonders of Scotland's Capital.



Tours further afield

We are working with a local tour company to develop a network of tours and transfers as well as offering most bespoke packages subject to a minimum number of people/price.

The Trossachs Trail Tour has had a number of trial runs with locals and has proved popular with a knowledgeable guide. This picturesque and historical tour lasts about five hours encompassing the popular towns of Callandar and Aberfoyle as well as Rob Roy's grave, forest parks, visitor and discovery centres, a toy collection and a visit to a woollen mill with a free nip of whisky at the mill.
