      Lots of old cool buildings and whiskey bars.

      'Mary kings close' is quite a cool wee trip under the royal mile.

      Greggs bakers is always good as well.

          Go for a walk up Arthur's Seat (an extinct volcano) you can see most of the city from up there. Then you can walk up the Royal Mile from the Parliament to Edinburgh Castle. After all that boring stuff a sausage roll from Greggs is must to complete the cultural experience.

                  Take a stroll along Princes St., have a drink in the Café Royal, tucked away at eastern end, then go up to the Brass Monkey in Drummond St., my daughter is a barmaid there- it's a cool relaxing pub in the centre of Old Town, and next to the University

                    yes, the castle and walk down the royal mile to mary king's close - it's an amazing trip back to the dark ages and worth every penny . .
