RE: RT (aka WCD) heading to Edinburgh 7/13. Staying at your fleabag of a hotel
I am envious. Princes St Gardens is a great place to sit in the mornings. Where else are you going? St. Andrews is nearby -- easy to get there in 45 minutes by train and bus. Stirling is @ 30 minutes by train.
Buses in Edinburgh are pretty easy to figure out. Zoo is a waste of time as is -- IMHO -- Greyfriars Bobby statue. John Knox house was NOT his actual house. He is buried under the parking lot outside St. Giles Church. The basement of the church used to have a good cafe. If you visit Edinburgh Castle get there in line early.
