With regionalisation the old counties of East Lothian, West Lothian and Midlothian have all been lumped together to form Lothian, with its administrative capital being the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Although Edinburgh is one of the area’s favourite attractions there are hidden gems outwith the city just dying to be discovered and explored.

It is also the ancient home of golf and you’ll find some of the greatest links and parkland courses of the world here, including the world famous Muirfield Links.
