Scotland Things to Do

Don’t be misled by the name, this cove has nothing to do with the sea, and is a trick of language, cove being the old Scots word for cave. Gilmerton Cove in Scotland then, is actually a cave. Or rather, it is a series of caves, a house actually, with three bedrooms, dug 100 feet into the ground underneath Gilmerton, once a village but now a suburb of Edinburgh. No one really knows how the cave dwelling got to be there.
