Scotland's capital city is a superb holiday destination for families interested in history, art and culture. Instead of paying a fortune for restricted hotel rooms, think about renting self-catering accommodation. Even if you don't stay in the city centre, Edinburgh's public transport system will put you within easy reach of the city's main attractions. You and your family will have more space to spread yourselves and relax. You will be able to organise your time just as you wish and enjoy your holiday all the more. It will be up to you whether to visit Edinburgh's restaurants or cook your own meals just when it suits you.
Edinburgh is particularly famous for its Royal Mile, where you can go on a ghost tour or visit the Edinburgh Dungeons. Don't miss Edinburgh Castle, which is the most popular attraction in Scotland. The climb up to Arthur's Seat is well worth it for the panoramic view at the top. The Royal Yacht Britannia, moored at Ocean Terminal, is a must for anyone interested in boats or the royal family. For art lovers there are the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art and the Dean Gallery, both set in beautiful parkland that features sculpture by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. In all, Edinburgh has twenty-three museums, including the National War Museum and the Museum of Edinburgh.
There are plenty of activities in Edinburgh to keep children entertained. For wildlife, visit Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World, or Edinburgh Zoo with its delightful penguin parade. In wet weather, children will enjoy the Museum of Childhood and the Scottish Storytelling Centre at John Knox House. Why not pay a visit to Our Dynamic Earth, where children can follow an interactive journey of the earth's history from the Big Bang to the present day. During the Edinburgh Festival there is plenty of street theatre aimed at children in particular. If you are visiting in December, the rides and ice-rink in Princes Street Gardens will provide amusement for all the family.
Like any other capital city, Edinburgh can be an expensive destination, but renting self-catering accommodation is a low-cost alternative to the city's hotels. Avoiding the month of August with the Edinburgh Festival will save even more money; visit in June or September when the weather can still be pleasant. We can offer you an excellent range of holiday rentals, from spacious flats to cottages on the outskirts of the city. Whatever you decide on, you can be assured of the very best in value when you book through us.

The name Charles Darwin is synonymous with modern evolutionary thought. While best known for advancing the theory of natural selection, Darwin had a hand in numerous areas of evolutionary biology. In the field of evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo"), Darwin devoted an entire chapter of On the Origin of Species (1859) to arguing that modifications during animal embryogenesis lead to morphological novelty. However, only one sentence in the book focuses on the evolution of plant form.
To trace the origin and history of plant evo-devo, Ned Friedman, director of the Arnold Arboretum and Arnold Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Professor Pam Diggle of the University of Colorado, combed through the historical record. The results of their investigation—published in the April issue of the journal Plant Cell—represent the first historical treatment of plant evo-devo. It should come as no surprise that their study suggests that Darwin was the first to connect the role of development to the evolution and transformation of plant form.
Behind that single sentence in On the Origin of Species lay a comprehensive knowledge of botany and an understanding of how modifications to plant form were possible. Examining Darwin's notes, Friedman and Diggle found that Darwin had studied the work of the first comparative plant morphologists, including Duchartre and Barnéoud. Using comparative approaches and a sensitivity to detail, these early botanists discovered that even though the mature form of an organ—say a flower—can differ significantly between species, the initial form traces back to a common morphology. Yet it was Darwin who first took this idea and connected it to evolutionary principles: successive modifications lead to novel morphologies.
Friedman and Diggle's journey through history and their clarification of the origins of plant evo-devo were made possible through the archival resources of the Horticultural Library of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and other libraries around the world.
