| Edinburgh is an enchanting city to explore, from the charming old town
with its dark closes and cobbled streets, to the magnificent New Town
and its Georgian elegance. There is world class shopping along Princes
Street, notably Jenners and Harvey Nichols. Many areas have unique
shops and restaurants, including Morningside, Bruntsfield, Stockbridge
and Grassmarket. |  |  | For evening entertainment, pick up a copy of 'the List' from a
newsagent, which will describe all the live bands, jazz, blues, pop,
plays, musicals and comedy shows on over the week. For eating in the
flat - plenty of lovely Chinese and Indian restaurants will deliver
takeaways , the video shop 'Hollywood nites' is at the bottom of
Morningside Drive, on Morningside Road - the membership card should be
on the mantelpiece. For eating out, Montpeliers, Cafe Grande, Peckhams
underground in Bruntsfield are all very good for eating. The Merlin is
a lovely pub halfway up Morningside Road. Cannymanns is a smart pub
towards the south of Morningside drive just before Safeways and gets
very good reviews for food. | | For kids of all ages, Dynamic Earth is an interactive expedition around
the geography of the earth. The Edinburgh Dungeon gives a great history
of the city narrated by 'local legends' in character. Deep Sea World
over the forth road bridge is an amazing aquarium with moving walkways
through tunnels under the tanks. The Musuems of Scotland on Chamber
Street are free of charge and well worth a visit. Also visit Greyfriars
bobby and spot the pennyfarthing... |  |
