With over 1,000 acres of parkland, outdoor activities, a restaurant and a magnificent palace, Dalkeith Country Park offers something for everyone. The palace, completed in 1711, has been owned by the Buccleuch family for over 300 years. In 2015, the family decided to undergo a huge restoration project to make the palace and its gardens into a tourist attraction. Today, you can explore the beautiful parklands, meet the animals, and find fun for all ages.

The park is open from 7am to 7pm daily. Tickets for adults cost £10. You can find more information, here: dalkeithcountrypark.co.uk
