"What sort of thing you thinking?"
Basically the normal touristy things.
We like to visit a city and wander round looking at things. We’d like some local tips about quirky pubs or cafes that sorta stuff. |

Edinburgh castle.
Princess street gardens
The royal mile
Hollywood house
Calton Hill
Scott’s monument
Haymarket is good for ppl watching and Cockburn Street is quaint and interesting.
There are loads of stuff to see and do. A walk up the Royal Mile to the Castle will probably take a good few hours or jump on the red tourist bus.
Enjoy  |

"Don't know if it will be open yet but a trip to the Edinburgh Dungeons is good fun. A trip to Leith & have a look round the Royal Yacht Brittania if it's open."
You've inspired me. Britannia opens on 27th July. I'm going to book a ticket. I was meant to go on a cruise early July so I will just need to pretend on this wee boat  |

"Go to south queensferrry and see the 3 bridges (the rail bridge is the only one worth looking at to be honest) have lunch in the hawes inn just below the bridge - if it’s open. "
South Queensferry was heaving last weekend, could get near the place and queues were awful, good weather Had brought everyone out  |
