I am a huge fan of the Botanics. I know you didn't come to Edinburgh for the gardens, but they are really well worth a trip.
The botanics are in Inverleith, a short bus ride from the town centre. Admission is free, but you have to pay to go in the greenhouses. Last time I went it was about £3...

It ranges to what you want to see as to what the cost. Walking the royal mile is interesting in it's self. Some on out tour group did the Mary's Kings Close did not enjoy it while others did. I enjoyed a late night Ghost tour (5 pounds) while others did not. Gotta pop into the Deacon Brodie Bar for ...

I have wanted to see Mary King's Close for quite a while and it has been by far the best Ghost Tour I have seen. There is alot of history involved with so even if you don't like the scart aspect there is still a lot to keep you interested. Now it depends on if you believe or not but I can tell you...

Ediburgh has a lot to offer in terms of Nightlife entertainment and an enjoyable day out. The area provides plenty of educational visits around the city as well as fun. I definately recommend going on the Mercat Ghost tours as it was quite scary if you used your imagination. I was quite dissapointed...

Edinburgh castle is the first tourist "must see" that you will see in all brochures about Edinburgh. I personally find it abit pricey (11 pounds) but the castle is really nice and it gives you a nice view on big part of the city. You can spend few hours walking around the castle, checking out exhibi...

Holyrood Palace was originally founded as a monastery back in the early 1100s. In 1498 James IV turned it into a palace. It is the official residence of the Queen when she is in Edinburgh. Tours are allowed when the Queen is not in residence, but photos may not be taken inside. Only a small porti...

Most people are unaware that the entire city of Edinburgh was built above an older city that existed on the same site. Well, it's true. The undercity, as it is now called, was abandoned some 200 years ago. Some say the undercity was abandoned due to the plague that was raging through the area, bu...

The Scottish Highlands may seem daunting for some, but not the folks at Haggis Tours. These Scots know what they are doing. Haggis offers 3, 6, 8, and 10 day tours of the Scottish Highlands, each tour led by a born and raised Scot. This reviewer took the 6 day tour, which is a great introduction ...

Hillend is an artificial snowslope in Edinburgh. Equipment can be hired at the slope. It has tow-lifts and chair-lifts so getting up the hill is really easy. I have to admit it feels nothing like snow, it is a kind of fibreglass surface but it is very good for ski/snowboarding down. There is also a ...

A friend of mine told me he went to the vaults in Edinburgh but they are only accessible via tour. He couldn't remember the tour operator but it wasn't hard to find out. The crowd is called Mercat Tours and most tours start at the Mercat cross on High Street. We had a look at the different tours and...

Right in the middle od the city, the hike is pleasant, not too difficult and the view at the top is simply stunning!
You can see everything from there. Really, if you h...
