Edinburgh

[Parthiban]

I'm working in Glasgow at the moment and am planning to make a trip up to Edinburgh at the weekend to take in the sights......basically I'm just wondering what are the main things to see?

So far I have the castle on my list (relatively obvious), but what else should I see and is there anything I should avoid?

Thanks in advance :)

I would stay in Glasgow go to the science musem on the quay and then go to the west end and get drunk mate (jinty mcquintys used to be my door and has live music on a thursday and is a great pint). the best thing in edinburgh is the train to Glasgow.

But if you insist, Then the Royal mile which you will have to walk to to get to the castle any ways, the camera obsucra is worth a visit to see the whole city,( its on the royal mile aswell,) The bars on rose st, (st behind princess st) are nice and cosy. Then there is the ussuall corny stuff like greyfiars bobby and the dungeons. But there are tourist maps etc like london in the train station,

oh and dont drive there unless you have no will to live as its a complete night mare. The train is fron queen st station in glasgow and is cheaper than the fuel, parkin and stress of driving in edinburgh.

And like the old tale goes, if you want to be served quick at the bar in glasgow wink at the barmaid, if you want to be served quick in edinburgh learn Polish :-)

I'd agree there Jock :D

Lot's more to do in Glasgow, you also got the Art Gallery, The Botanic Gardens, The Peoples Place and if you venture South of the river the Museum of Transport and the Burrell Collection.

Have a few bevvies around Shawlands Cross and try to pub crawl Byres Road both ways, oh how that takes me back.
