Advantages: Adam Llyal Whitchery Tour

Disadvantages: Royal Bank Street Party

Edinburgh Hogmanay what a pile of crap. Spend varst amounts of money on central hotel etc. The whole run up to New years eve was a huge let down. Ice rink in the winter gardens absolute crap was like skating around your local swimming pool as it seemed to be lacking in ice. The torch procession great, if you want 90% burns from torch wax, spent the following days removing wax from my scalp, nice. Lots to do at Edinburgh castle if you enjoy waiting to buy tickets in the car park for an hour. What a joke the scottish crown jewels look plastic. Failed to meet many scottish people only cool guy in edinburgh does a guided bus tour he is an absolute comic genius although im not sure the chinese tourists got all his jokes. Restaurants pretty poor spend most meals at the Dome (pretty good). Adam Llyal murder tours probably the best thing to do in edinburgh, amazing what a bit of white face paints can achieve, would have gone stark raving mad if we hadnt gone on the tour. MUST GO ON THIS TOUR! Shopping ok harvey nicholls/ jennas slightly random not as good as the hype. Finally New Years Eve arrived, and jesus i was bracing myself for it to be bad but jesus! I was lucky enough or not as the case was to have a ticket to get in. Really bad spent the night fenced into princes street with some shit dj every one looking at each other waiting for something good to happen which didnt. Try standing in your local tesco car park, with a bit of imaginationyou can get the jist. Midnight hit i was waiting for an onslaught of snogging and hugging but it just seemed to turn in to some bloody brawl. I cant really convey how bad it was, anyone thinking to head to edinburgh for hogmanay, stay at home. Absolute crap, save your money.
