Hollyrood Park which belongs to the Monarchy but is accessable to all with no gates or restrictions. The park is 650 acres of unmanicured hill just raw nature as nature intended. If the weather is fine go for a walk here and see Arthur's Seat, a long ago extinct volcano which erupted under the sea when Scotland was many miles from where it is today a fact to contemplate while enjoying a solitary and stimulating walk back through time.
No equipment necessary but you might want to wear layered clothing. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: OutdoorsDirections: Near the Palace of Holyroodhouse

 Murrayfield Stadium by scottishvisitor
A ticket & the National flag of your choice Leave a Comment

Edinburgh has two football teams Heart of Midlothian nicknamed the Jam Tarts or the Jambos their stadium is called Tynecastle.
Hibernian is the other team nicknamed the Hibees or alternatively Hibs- Hibernian is the Roman name for Ireland from where the team's founding father came from. So if football is your game you could take in a match with the local rivals. Any Hibs or Hearts fans on VT please take note - I support neither team so will alternate the club badges on the main photo
A ticket for the game & of course the scrarf colours of theclub of your choice Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingDirections: Easter Road Stadium is out by Leith & Tynecastle Stadium in out by GorgieWebsite: www.spl.co.uk

 Murrayfield Stadium - Home of
Scottish Rugby by huwhit
When the Stadium is full at 67,500, the place is amazing. All these screaming Scots belting out 'Flower of Scotland', it gets the hairs on the back of your head going.
The first time I visited Murrayfield was in November 2001, for there Autumn Test against the All Blacks, it was great.
Last time I was there I abseiled into the Stadium as part of a Cancer Research fundraiser. That was spine-tingling!
Also got there in November of 2004 to see the mighty Wallabies get up (easily) over the struggling Scots.

 Marathon runners by fishandchips
The next marathon is 11 June 2006 and you can enter by visiting the official website. The cost (for general o'seas runners) is 40 pounds if you enter early enough otherwise it is as high as 50 pounds unless you can arrange to run for charity.
The usual shoes, shorts & top but make sure you are sorted out with your water and carbo drinks - especially if you have travlled a long way to get here (no booze on the flight!!) Leave a Comment Theme: Extreme Sports
