Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Hallglen

"Try a trip to Camera Obscura, an optical illusion attraction in Edinburgh that features tons of different illusions as well as plays on light, sound and movement. While Camera Obscura may not be the most romantic thing to do in Edinburgh in the same way that a luxurious spa treatment or fancy dinner would, it’s a great idea for what to do in Edinburgh as a couple who want to have fun and laugh together."

"On Castle Hill, Camera Obscura and World of Illusions offers five floors of interactive hands-on optical illusions, tricks and fun things to do including vortex tunnel, mirror maze and shrinking room. Tickets are £12.15 for children and £15.75 for adults."

"Swap noses and heads, walk through a tunnel of never-ending stars and capture your own shadow on camera. Free rooftop telescopes. Enter a world of illusions where seeing is definitely not believing!"

"One of the most iconic views from Edinburgh is from atop Calton Hill, looking across Princes Street towards the castle, and placing the Dugald Stewart Monument in the foreground of your frame. This is a really lovely composition, and this image is often used to represent Edinburgh in photos around the world. You can shoot this particular shot either with a wide angle, or you can back up a bit and use a longer lens to compress the different elements together."

"If Arthur’s Seat wasn’t enough altitude and you fancy another panoramic view of the city, Calton Hill is a lovely walk with excellent views – and much easier on the legs and lungs. It’s located quite close to the downtown area and it’s home to some of the best sunsets in Edinburgh – if you can catch it on a clear enough night, granted."

"The Bramble cocktail bar is somewhat difficult to locate, but that’s part of its charm on a stag do. If you spot the teeny plaque announcing its existence, then head down the stairs into this cellar bar and ask the bartender to mix you up a concoction of your choice. Although there’s an established menu, they’re generally happy to let you come up with your own."

"The first step to an evening at Bramble Bar is finding it: The bar, off posh Queen Street, is tucked down a set of stairs in a basement. Inside, expect relaxed music, low lights, comfortable chairs, and antique furniture. Groups of colleagues post-work, couples, and older New Town residents."

"Expect cocktails craftier than your latest outfit and an ambience to match. The subterranean setting and strategic dim lighting adds to the allure. Throw in the slew of irresistible tunes and the rest is history."

"Previously known as the Bannockburn Heritage Centre, the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre is dedicated to bringing Scottish history alive. Containing an immersive 3D visitor experience and many interactive features, there is a focus not just on the famous Battle of Bannockburn but also the many historical figures who took part in it. The building also contains a gift shop and café area."

"Scotland owes its status as a proud nation to King Robert the Bruce’s great victory at the Battle of Bannockburn, beside Stirling, on 23rd and 24th June 1314. The Scottish king’s triumph over the vastly superior army of King Edward II of England secured Scotland’s independence for the next 400 years. Visit the Battle of Bannockburn Experience and re-live the dramatic story of the battle."

"You can almost hear horses' hooves and the zip of arrows in this 21st-century re-creation of the battle that changed the course of Scotland…"

"Around a 15-minute drive from our luxury student accommodation buildings in Edinburgh is Bread Meets Bread, a super popular eatery perfect for a takeaway. They have four delicious vegan burger options, as well as plenty of vegan sides if you’re wanting that little bit extra. If you like a bit of spice, the vegan Caribbean burger is definitely worth a try!"

"Bread Meets Bread is a great place to go for lunch when you need some much needed catch up time with your bestie. With a large menu, including a specialty glazed doughnut burger; this is the best place in Edinburgh for a good old catch up and great food."
