My favourite thing about my trip to Edinburgh was just walking around. Through Princes St gardens, up little alleys, down the Royal Mile, around Arthur's Seat. There are always things you will miss if you stay in a car or on a bus. I feel fulfilled after spending a day or two walking around and exploring a new city, exhausted, but fulfilled. Leave a Comment

 Are you sure this is real
money? ;-) by Dabs
I didn't end up charging very much in Edinburgh but it did look like credit cards were widely accepted. Leave a Comment

For US travelers, Edinburgh is an expensive city but you can get by with virtually no transportation cost except the rather inexpensive airport bus (currently L5 round trip), all of the major museums have free admission, St. Giles and Parliament are both free to enter. Walking to the top of Calton Hill or Arthur's Seat won't cost you a dime (and will help you work off some of that full Scottish breakfast)
Hotels-Ibis has a hotel right near the Royal Mile and if you are really low on funds there is a youth hostel. Or you can try laterooms.com to see what kind of reduced rates are out there.
Food-lots of inexpensive options, pub fare, kebabs, fish and chips, all can be had for under L10 Leave a Comment

The traffic wardens are extremely efficient. I parked my car in a controlled area where parking is free until 8am. I went to my car at 7.55am. Guess what, 2 traffic wardens were already there waiting to issue parking tickets. Never knew they are so efficient! Leave a Comment

Seems like there are two REALLY busy times to go to Edinburgh, at New Year's for the Hogmany celebrations and in the summer when they have the Festival. I chose January, not because I thought it was a particularly good time to visit Edinburgh but because it fit in with my travel plans to visit London for the big VT meeting on January 21, 2006.
It was a little chilly, especially at the top of Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle and of course the gardens are not much to see but otherwise I found it a fine time to visit, nothing was particularly crowded, I got a better rate on accomodations and didn't need to book anything in advance.

I was in Edinburgh on Sunday and Monday just past, and as usual, had a great time!
Edinburgh is a great place for meeting other travellers. Two of my friends (who are South Africans) and myself stepped out of a pub in Edinburgh and saw some people playing with a dog. One friend, who loves dogs, started to play with it also. As it turned out, they thought it was our dog, we thought it was their dog, and it wasn't actually either, the dog belonged to someone else entirely! Anyway, this got us all talking and as it turned out these people were australians, so we ended up going to another pub with them and had a great time! (I must admit, I felt a bit left out as I was the only person who came from Scotland - a tourist in my own country!!) Leave a Comment

My fondest memories of Edinburgh involve visiting a friend who was at Uni there.
One trip involved taking her to hospital because she had burnt her leg on a hot water bottle. She had been out celebrating the resignation of Margaret Thatcher.
Whenever I went to visit something always seemed to happen. There was never a dull moment! Leave a Comment

Almost every place we visited had at least one ghost, and night time ghost tours are very popular, Edinburgh is home to Scotlands most haunted pub `Nicol Edwards`, obviously a good place to visit if you like to drink spirits
lf you like the idea of being scared half witless then check out Auld Reekies tours on www.auldreekietours.co.uk
here is VT member Suet with her new friend at the entrance to Tron Kirk on the Royal Mile, this is the starting for the scare-you-to-bits tours Leave a Comment
