Edinburgh B&B: Edinburgh Castle voted Scotland's 'best paid attraction'
12th May 2008Edinburgh Castle has proved a cherished place to visit for guests at an Edinburgh B&B and has now been confirmed as Scotland's most popular paid-for attraction.
In excess of 1.2 million people attended the castle during 2007, according to figures released by VisitScotland.
Edinburgh Zoo and Edinburgh Bus Tours were in second and third place respectively as part of the 45 million people that visited Scotland's major attractions during 2007.
Scotland's National Gallery and National Museum, both based in Edinburgh, were second and third busiest free attraction after the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.
Jim Mather, tourism minister, said that these healthy visitor figures showed that "Scotland is continuing to draw in the crowds". ~
"We want to show the world that the whole of Scotland has something to offer, and these figures show that this approach is beginning to pay off."
"Visitors are demonstrating that they want to visit our biggest cities, as well as more remote parts of Scotland," he added.
All points indicate that the many attractions in Scotland's capital will continue to draw visitors to Edinburgh's B&Bs.
