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.
