Christmas Shopping in Edinburgh

No doubt about it - Christmas Shopping can be a chore!

Have fun this year by taking a Christmas Shopping break in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
Many of you will know of the German Christmas Market which takes place every year and the big wheel, the ice rink, the record breaking Santa Run etc etc.
Officially the German Market opens and the Christmas Lights are switched on on Thursday 26th November but there are shops open before then too!
At this time of year Edinburgh to many looks its best, with Edinburgh Castle as a stunning backdrop. Having a compact city centre shopping is easy and browsing a pleasure - Men take note!!
Full details can be found at http://www.edinburghschristmas.com/, but to whet your appetite see below, and of course Anne House Apartments still have availability for a last minute break details which can be found at www.annehouse.co.uk/offers.
