Edinburgh, United Kingdom + Add a trip

Walk till you cannot feel you legs

Edinburgh is an excellent city to walk every bit of it. Princess Street, certainly a must. For the most amazing views of the city walk to Calton Hill, Holyrood Park, High Street, Castle Lawnmarket among others. It's very hilly.

Analogue Books

A wonderful and beautiful bookshop, focused on design and related things. Run by the absolutely lovely Russell and Julie, who will make your visit a pleasant one. Regular exhibitions in their tiny gallery space, a healthy magazine and T-shirt selection, and guaranteed good chat.

Climb Calton Hill

One of the country's best views is the city from Calton Hill. Climb it before breakfast for the full majesty of a Scottish sunrise.

The Highland Fling 2008

I went to see the web conference The Highland Fling in the heart of Edinburgh and it was absolutely smashing good. It's a day of a high quality dosage of the coolest developers talking about the web industry and its future. Highly recommendable if you can make it there and you are on web dev and web design stuff.

Baked Potatoes on Cockburn Street

Just off the Royal Mile is Cockburn Street. Its a beautiful street with lot's of unique shops. Some are fairly sleazy but the others make up for it. 'Beyond Words' is a shop selling photography books and is worth a look.

The best place however is a vegetarian baked potato shop. The potatoes are massive and the filling incredible. Sadly there's no bacon or any other meat but there still amazing. It's pretty cheap too.

If you're over for the festival or just need a decent cheap meal (in a hurry) it's a very filling and healthy place to go.

Climb climb and climb

Day 1, climb to carlton hill, day to arthur's seat. Really amazing view.

Hi

Take a look at princess street gardens which is very nice and above you is Edinburgh Castle

hope you enjoy

Definitely take a walk - check out Dean, a charming little village within Edinburgh. Take a walk by the waterway that runs through it and meet loads of nice people and their wee dogs.

A really beautiful low key old style pub with stained glass, woodwork, mirrors, real ales, and a good mix of customers next the King's Theatre.

A waste of money and time.

Alright, its only a shop. But its a hat shop that sells actual hats you can wear every day not just at weddings. Loads of them. At really very reasonable prices. For us Londoners where the choice is John Lewis wedding hats or extortionate prices at Locke & Co, this is truly wonderful. Hat fans, fill your hatboxes!

Great place to shop and have a nice cup of hot chocolate and cake, overlooking the Castle
