"My Husband and I flew to Scotland to get married. We chose to stay at the Abcorn in Edinburgh due to its location to where we were going to be married and its proximity to downtown Edinburgh. The rooms were large and clean and the people were wonderful. They really went above and beyond what was called for to make our stay memorable. In fact, after my husband and I lost our marriage certificate, they even helped us go through the trash to try and find it. When my husband I and return, we will be sure to stay there again."
