Scotland's east coast has numerous great seaside caravan sites in easy driving distance of the capital city.
Those staying in the area between August 13th and September 5th could make the most of their holiday by visiting the Edinburgh International Festival.
A celebration of culture and the arts, the event attracts visitors from around the world and is vitally important for Edinburgh's businesses.
"The combination of performers and visitors doubles the local population during the festival period, providing a rich cultural atmosphere that is genuinely unique to this festival city," explained VisitScotland regional director for Edinburgh and Lothians Sinead Feltoe.
According to the expert, the festival attracts millions of people to Scotland each year, generating billions for the economy, and presents a great chance to showcase the country in front of the world.
The city also attracts guests throughout the year with its many cultural and historic sites, including the castle and old town.
