Dunedin, old Gaelic for Edinburgh, betrays the cities early heritage as a Scottish Settlement. Dunedin came to prominence during the Gold Rush years and hasn’t looked back since. Today visitors come not only for the town’s historic charm but also the incredible array of wildlife located on the Otago Peninsula just 30 minutes drive from the city. Here you can get up close to Penguins and see the worlds only mainland Royal Albatross Colony.
