parking charges in edinburgh town centre

ManUnitedfc

Hi, I stayed in that travelodge last new year and parked in the hotel car park as I too thought it wasnt too bad plus no hassle.

However, this year I have booked into The George Hotel for 2 nights begining on 31 December and this has no hotel car park at all :-(

Anyone any ideas for me at all before I start to look into getting there by train. Would I be able to get a cheeky park in one of the city centre car parks at all on new years eve or would it be way too packed?

The other alternative is to park in one of the Park and Rides on the outskirts and jump on a bus for £1.10 into town.

A word of warning if you do decide to cough up the £10 for 24 hours at the Travelodge.
It`s limited to about 25 spaces and the hotel has 193 rooms.
Also you will need coins for the machine.

I got to the travelodge last year on new years eve at around lunchtime and managed to get a place. Didnt rate the room though to be honest but atleast it has a park unlike my hotel choice this year :-)

Totally off-topic but seeing as those who've posted here clearly have experience of Scotland, can someone please interpret what my Glaswegian line manager utters at least five times a day to all of us:

"och awee yer feece, haud yer wheesht end shove wer wee granny yer Sassies"

hi ya
Being a glaswegian ...I can give you some idea...och away yer face , I think means take your face or yourself away from here...or **** off !!!!
...haud yer wheest means keep quiet or more precisely shut up and the next bit I am quessing but think sassie might be referring to sassenachs , the english equivalent to scots being called Jock....it will interesting to see what other weggies think
