The Edinburgh castle is amazing... When I first arrived into Edinburgh, I was amazed at the grandness of the castle, which is directly in the center of Edinburgh... The city is amazingly clean and the park right below the castle has quite an interesting story to it as well.. It used to be filled with water and this is where many tortures/killings would take place and where basically all of the trash/sewage would be put... It ended up smelling so bad, that they finally drained it out and it is now a beautiful park, but it is interesting to know what used to be where you were walking many years ago... The city of Edinburgh has much history to it.. If you go to the Camera Obscure tower, you can get a great view of all of Edinburgh... Notice the chimneys around.. Apparently Edinburgh was famous for its smoggy smoky air, but now the city is absolutely beautiful....

This is the inside of Edinburgh College of Art. I showed it to my parents who originally met each other at the art gallery at UCLA and they agreed this pretty much kicks the crap out of UCLA. Impressive.
Packing List
by EdinburghRoc
If you come from Vancouver or Seattle you will feel at home it can rain in Edinburgh. We tell the visitors 'If you don't like the weather wait five minutes' The wind comes from the west and travels east. Edinburgh gets very little snow, it tends to fall just short of the city. Winter it can fall as low as 0c 32f. You can buy it here if need be. We have what you need. Jessups west end of Princes street in Shanwick Place is the best photo shop.
Here is why you need lots of film The Tattoo

Copy & paste the above.* We swim indoors here.OK OK sometimes the sun shines just don't count on it. Buy duty free before coming it will be cheaper.
Gosford Bay

Gosford Bay lies some 12kms east of Edinburgh. It is a nice sandy baech with ample parking and popular with families.
From here you get good views over the forth of Forth, the Forth bridges, islands and the fife coastline.
near Cockenzie off the A198
Great snacks
by MalenaN about Julian Graves
In Princes Mall I bumped into a store I liked very much and it seems it can be found in many British cities. It is Julian Graves store, selling snacks, nuts, dried fruits etc.
I especially like the bar made of almonds and apricots, covered in yoghurt and the package with nuts (cashew nuts, hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts) and raisins and golden raisins.
