Here are the 10 most peaceful beauty spots in Edinburgh, according to a study.

A breathtaking local beauty spot has been named as the “most peaceful spot” in the UK – but nine other places featured in Edinburgh’s “most peaceful” list.

It comes as analysis by Earth.fm revealed where city residents and visitors can find tranquility in Scotland's capital city, after it was named the “noisiest” in the UK. By analysing visitors’ reviews that mention words like “quiet”, “relaxing”, “tranquil”, “calm”, and “peaceful”, researchers at Earth.fm gave each place a ‘Quiet Score’.

Claiming top spot to be named the “most peaceful spot in the country” was Dr Neil’s Garden, a hidden gem beauty spot that even many locals don’t know exists.
