http://www.steakedinburgh.com/ has always been good when i have visited

Princess street and George street for shopping.
George street and Royal mile for restaurants and pubs.
Royal mile up to the castle for sight seeing etc.
There's lots of streets between with shops, pubs etc as well but those are the main ones I'd say.

There's loads of buses should you venture out the centre. Wouldn't bother driving, the roads in Edinburgh are by far the worst I've driven over.

Yeah we did he vaults tour. There are a few of them. Not particularly frightening but entertaining indeed.

I'll look into that Nic, someone has mentioned to me about a tour that takes you under ground ?

The tasting menu at mark Greenaway is good but you probably need to book in advance

Went to the castle in the summer amd loved it. Trams the best way of getting into the city centre, i'm told.

I've only been in December, when all the Christmas stuff was on - markets/ice rink etc. The touristy stuff looked good but I didn't visit any of it. :facepalm:

My favourite place to visit in the UK.

Off to Edinburgh next Friday for a couple of nights, anyone recommend any decent restaurants or places to visit ?
