Don't just roam the earth's surface — discover what's underneath it too. See strange natural formations and shapes in the deep, dark recesses of Gilmerton Cove.

Gilmerton Cove is a great place kick off your day in Gilmerton. This natural underground attraction comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow some time for other attractions like Edinburgh Castle, Murrayfield Stadium, and Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (807 reviews)

Each of the rooms had a theme based on a different city which was very quaint. Only issue was some wear to the labels on the lights- meant it took me forever to try to figure out how to turn off the lights because all the labels had been rubbed off. Staff was wonderful though!
