    The castle , the Edinburgh Dungeons , the graveyard tour (sounds grisly but is good fun ), the parliament's meant to be worth a visit

    As Martin says - Please be nice to all MoneySavers. :A
    What is the matter with everyone tonight - has it been a bad day at the office? I think this site is about hints/tips and helping each other to get the best possible deal not about giving spelling lessons!
    However, please try not to spell Edinburgh the English way when you are in Scotland, Cargo - the Scots can get a bit touchy about such things (same as us Welsh when all the older ladies from Manchester insist on pronouncing Betws y Coed as Betsy Co-ed!;)
    ;) If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!

    Had a few days there last month. Fabulous city.
    The castle is a must and we went on a ghost walk...didn't see anything though!!
    Walked up Calton Hill for great views across the city.
    Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat are good for a visit as well.
    Some nice shops and good restaurants and bars..but you would expect that anyway.
    Have a great time.
    When life throws you lemons...put them in a gin and tonic !!
