Matta Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If the weather is typically Scottish (i.e. wet) the Museum of Scotland in Chambers street is a good day visit and just 5 mins walk from the Royal Mile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 When you going..? Feeding the sqizzels in Princess St Gardens was a giggle. And a walk round Jenners the department store will win you some brownie points with SWMBO. If you can ditch the family - a pub crawl round the grass market is a hoot... Squirrels - Yup I remember doing that when I was a wee lad Jenners - hope not Grassmarket - me and my m8 will aim to lose the wives and kids at some point to enjoy the local ales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7PNY Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Not sure how old the kids are but our dynamic earth is definitely worth a visit.Ours (6 and 3 now) loved it. Perfectly feasible to do castle and that in same day. Be prepared to be bent over for parking if you are parking anywhere near the castle (and anywhere in the city centre for that matter!)

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Well we had s fab few days - the view from Arthur's Seat was breathtaking We also did the museum, walked the Royal Mile, grass market areas, walked up to the castle and drove over the Britania (we didn't go in as we were doing it on a budget) We really loved Edinburgh - could have spent another few days there easily Thanks for all the ideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
