Crime rates are pretty low in Edinburgh and according to Travel Safe only 16 percent of residents have reported experiencing crime.

Over nine in 10 residents say they feel perfectly content living in the Scottish capital city.

One of Edinburgh’s top rated sites and a must-see for visitors is Arthur’s Seat, an ancient volcano.

Many of the UK’s major cities miss out on the top 10 list with London, Manchester and Birmingham not included.

However, beautiful Bath made the list as the third safest staycation destination in the UK.

The city is home to the Roman baths, which are incredibly preserved and well worth a visit.

After a busy day exploring, it’s a great idea to head to one of the city’s tearooms to enjoy a famous Bath bun.
