pedro111 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If you do go hunting a haggis, make sure you take a good rifle as they are quick and nimble little buggers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought for Health and Safety reasons tourists can only do the net-catching version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Going to Edinburgh with the lass in a few weeks, My advice would be this: don't. really don't know too much about the place. Seriously, keep it that way. Whats there to do, thats like good basically? If you must, then come and admire the spectacular scenery. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2150/2700486739_f6742fce15.jpg?v=0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The New Town is good - Princes Street is rubbish even without the roadworks - all chain stores Wander through the gardens and up to the old town and around the castle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The Castle is brilliant and check out the Coventors prison at Greyfriars churchyard. Supposedly the most haunted place in Britain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
