waddaya think then?

Edinburgh sells lots of Edinburgh rock. The castle is worth a look. The Botanical Gardens are also lovely. I was there during the fringe so there was loads of street theatre to just sit and watch. Great Place! Bring me back some tablet!


Ta ew - liking the sound of the Gardens. I'll be investigating the comestibles too


I can heartily recommend whisky.


I'd be surprised if you haven't looked at any of these alreacy but, have a look on

The National Gallery is worth a look

and is right in the centre.
There are other ones too.
The Royal Scottish Museum is well worth a visit.

As I recall Alan liked the architecture of the (fairly) recent extension.
There's loads in Edinburgh and I would also recommend the Botanic Gardens though they are a little weather dependant but they do have a fairly large section of glasshouses should it rain.

Go up Calton Hill for a good view of the city. Arthurs seat may be a bit ambitious but you never know and there's the observatory on Blackford Hill.
I like the place which is odd as I'm a Glaswegian by birth.

The airport is quite far from the city centre and there is (currently) no fast rail link and the traffic can be murder.

I hope you have a good time.


Are you spending the night in Edinburgh? If so, have you thought of the Edinburgh Vaults tour? I hear it is very creepy.


Fantastic suggestions - you've got the job Douglas - thanks to all.


Don't tell Mr BW about the rock or he'll want some.


That's 1p plus taxes though, isn't it? Still a great deal. Well done for getting through the website to book... I gave up.


National Gallery definitely, go first for the stunning collections of Scottish painting (eg. Phoebe Traquair). You can pick up a free bus outside the door to the DEAN GALLERY which has great dada & surrealist stuff.

Have a curry at Kushi's in Drummond Street - bit of a legend, scruffy, cheap, good.


Thanks Anna
