Day trips from Edinburgh?
A friend and I are planning on visiting Edinburgh in 2019.
We would also like to visit a few castles and other historical sites outside of the city.
What is the best way to go see additional sites as well as indulge in out photography hobbies?
Bus, car rental, organized day trips??

East Lothian is probably the most diverse option and some brilliant castles in there - Hailes, Dirleton and, of course, Tantallon. The latter is extremely photogenic....
You can also find me on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Tumblr.
All my Edinburgh daytrip suggestions by public transport can be found at the bottom half of this blogpost I also created this other thread to list and crowdsource Scottish castles accessible by public transport: https://community.visitscotland.com/discussion/1264/list-of-scottish-castles-reachable-by-public-transport
