Edinburgh's schools go on half-term break in October, meaning they'll be running around like lunatics from Saturday October 10-Tuesday October 20. We know what you're thinking - didn't they just get back from holiday?! Still, at least Edinburgh's got plenty of things to keep them occupied throughout, including museums, free things to do and a selection of kid-focused attractions.
