Win A Valentine's Day Getaway

Edinburgh Castle

To wish our valued readership a happy Valentine’s Day, we have a romantic weekend to give away to one lucky couple at none other than Valentine City Centre Guest House - the closest guest house to Edinburgh Castle! What’s more, you’ll be staying in their five-star luxury room, complete with a new deep mahogany Jacobean four-poster bed.


How To Enter

All you need to do is provide a caption for the picture below in our comments section, and you stand a chance of spending a couple of nights under Edinburgh Castle’s romantic glow with a loved one. Because it’s Valentine’s month and it’s the only time of the year that you can get away with being completely cheesy - the most poetic line wins.

Roses are red,
And I have a plan,
If I can woo you with this get up,
I'll make you my doberman.

Frances' love of travel started with family holidays that involved a two day journey across the great Karoo, where colonial towns jostled with raw African poverty and barren farmlands. Here her parents would tell tales of the great beyond as they watched some of the best starry skies on offer. Her first transatlantic adventure involved a stay in the attic of a 400-year-old rectory in the charming town of Stoke Hammond and since also took the form of a stint in Galway, Ireland where she learnt how it feels to have music throb through your veins.
