Nestled on the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills and surrounded by enchanting woodland, Swanston is a picturesque haven on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Known for its charming thatched cottages and tranquil atmosphere, this historic hamlet offers a perfect escape into nature’s embrace. With roots dating back to the 18th century, Swanston has evolved from a farm worker’s retreat to a sought-after destination for visitors seeking serenity and beauty.
Steeped in history, Swanston was once home to the family of Robert Louis Stevenson, who spent cherished summers here, drawing inspiration from its idyllic surroundings. Today, the village retains its timeless charm, with a tight-knit community and attractions like Swanston Golf Club, a golfer’s paradise offering breathtaking views and a venue for unforgettable events. The iconic Swanston Farm is also a popular wedding venue, attracting couples from near and far who dream of tying the knot in a serene, countryside setting.
