We're already thinking of 'next time'!
we loved it, back about 3 weeks from our second visit, and we're planning our third. Haven't been to the botanical gardens yet

Bull stuff. Lots of lovely places to go eg the Merchant City and the West End. I'm out in the city every Saturday and meet friendly people everywhere.So avoid at all costs, unless of course you are into sectarian bigotry.

Absolutely, makes you wonder why they had to waste so much money on a tram system which incidentally will lose £1m a year for eternity.There are so many buses in Edinburgh, it’s like a conveyor belt.
That's very fair. Leeds is £2 a short journey, more on longer ones. The train is cheaper if you are going to the centre from where I live. I'm not sure what a day rover job is.Edinburgh buses are a very good way to get around. £4 day ticket great value. "My Edinburgh Bus" app very useful as already mentioned.

It's a mystery to us locals as well. The buses were already pretty decent and a tiny fraction of the tram costs being put into buses could have made them fantastic. The trams were a glory project for some in the council that wanted it to happen, no matter what the costs turned out to be.
spent a few hours at a nice pub in Stockbridge about 3 weeks agoCoda just off the Royal Mile and Vinyl Villains just at the top of Leith Walk on Elm Row.
There's an Oxfam(?) music store in Stockbridge that sells stuff at horrific prices for what looked like auspect quality...
i forgot another interesting trip.
About half way down the royal mile. near the Law courts/chambers, there is an entrance to an amazing 'other world' .
it is basically part of the old town dating from a time of great poverty, which was built over to allow parts of the present royal Mile to be built. fascinating stuff.
No invitations to dinner for visiting fishies then?You can’t go wrong just walking and seeing- it’s a small walkable city. Rothesay terrace is a short stroll from both branches of the Gallery of Modern Art. One tip is to download the Transport for Edinburgh App and the accompanying T for E Tickets App onto a mobile device.
You can then hold an all day bus and tram ticket on your phone or just buy one on a bus. The other app will show you all bus routes and bus positions in real time. It will also tell you how to get anywhere, locating bus stops and the right bus. There are so many buses in Edinburgh, it’s like a conveyor belt.
Rich, my fear is you have the table manners of a Mexican bandit.No invitations to dinner for visiting fishies then?
