the train station

by monument,you means the Scotts monument?
its just over the road from the Waverley station when you exit on the Princes street exit
Arthurs seat from the station is a wee walk (well its all relative,a walk to me. a bus or taxi to my OH)
you would come out the market street side of the station,walk up t the royal mile
go down the hill(or go up the hill to the castle if you fancy) to the Scottish parliament building and round the corner is Holyrood park)

google maps is handy for getting an idea of distances

where do you catch the buses to the seaside. do they drop you of near the acades and seafront

Porty is tiny so any bus that gets you to Porty is fine
according to LRT a 42 will take you to Porty high street from waverly in 32 minutes

the journey planner will let you punch in start and end point

I'm going to be travelling up to Edinburgh by train for a few days. When I've been to london by train in the past there was a website that let you print of vouchers for BOGOF etc at some attractions when you showed your train tickets. Is there the same for edinburgh?
