I recently found myself in Edinburgh Castle (right at the top of The Royal Mile) with a few hours to kill before making my way to the airport. Having had a dry weekend up to this point I had cockily gone out without any form of rain repellent and naturally as I was strolling around the inner ramparts I noticed the skies darken and a sea ...

Camera Obscura is a place good to come for tourists in Edinburgh. If you want to see it you'll find it up in the High Street in the walk up to the Castle. It's a white building with a dome shaped roof. You can see it in the picture. What it's basically about is cameras and all about them. I liked the bit at the end ... Read the complete review

Whilst on a tour of Scotland for our holiday my partner and I were only in Edinburgh itself for one full day. We wanted to see as much as we could of the city, to gather information for a possible return visit to spend more time there. As we were only there for that one day we decided not to actually visit any of the major ... Read the complete review
