Wander the ruins of what was once Scotland's biggest church, then climb the narrow stair of St Rule's Tower for a view over the rooftops, harbour and sea.

Why it's a good date: The grounds, with their old gravestones and towering gable ends, are free to walk round. The tower climb needs a ticket and isn't always open, so check before you go; it's worth it on a clear day.
