Just booked train tickets for me and the GF - £28 return for the both of us from Preston :shock: - and a hotel right in the center, about a 5 min walk from the station for £200 for 3 nights 
Should be fun

Make sure you go to Mary Kings Close AND ring the day before you want to go and book or you'll not get in.....it's worth it.

We were gonna drive and stay at a travel lodge as its pretty much the only place with parking! Cost like £15 a night too!!
But the train was so cheap it would have been rude not to!0 -

We drive up and stay at the travel lodge in Livingston, My bro lives in Craigshill the milton keynes of scotland and thats the closest place for us doing the vivisting bit.
All being well if the Hubby has had his hernia fixed we'll be riding Glentress as we pass it on the drive up and back and it would be rude not to ride it
You'll love Mary Kings Close, If youcan get on one of the other tours too, we want to try the tours round the graveyards at night...be good for a scare

ooo the GF would well be up for that! she's into the most haunted prog's and stuff
tis a shame I can't visit Glentress.. but I think she'd kill me haha!0 -
if you're taking her for dinner then you should definitely go to the witchery by the castle. google it... it's really something. not as overpriced as you might expect, food is amazing, just mind and book ahead!0

I gave a homeless dude a quid in Edinburgh and he did a funky little dance.
I approved greatly.0 -

don't do that....
either go to Martin Wisharts in leith for reasonably priced...no nonsense michelin star food...
or rhubarb at Prestonfield House...pretty much the same food as the witchery (i think it is the same exec chef) but without the pomp.
oh...
and the tram works on princes street are finished (for the moment at least)Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

If it's pub grub you're after and you enjoy ale, then I'd definitely recommend the Half Way House. It's a tiny little pub halfway up the stairs leading from Waverley Station to Cockburn Street (opposite side of station to Princes Street).
Friendly staff, good food and great beer!Kona Stinky Six
