Emma J

We are a family of 5. Paul is a lawyer, Emma is a jewellery designer. Joseph and Miriam are students and Eve are at school in Edinburgh. We have exchanged before and love having a holiday this way as it interesting to meet new people and places and experience the 'real' country or city. Our house is a large Victorian detached house in its own garden grounds, sleeping up to 12 with fabulous views over John Muir Country Park to the spectacular Belhaven Bay and Bass Rock, only 30 miles from Edinburgh. There are lots of local activities for families including surfing, golfing and wake boarding, as well as plenty local facilities for young children. There are lots of historic castles nearby and quaint seaside towns with their beautiful beaches and charming shops. Edinburgh is only a 22 minute train ride away with its famous castle and Newtown, which is a world heritage site, and in August its world renowned Festival.
