if you're still about on friday go for a pint in the Scotsman Lounge on Cockburn Street (it's pronounced cOburn street ya buggers :lol: )

not sure if cisco's mentioned it but the newly refurbed national museum is well worth a visit on chambers st and surgeons halls on south bridge for something a bit different.

Aye no problem, make sure you go the the 'learning zone' or whatever its called. Bit for the younger visitors but its a good laugh

Top tip for lunch is the mosque kitchen if you're into curry. Used to be actually part of the mosque but its now in an actual restaurant on nicolson square. Best curry in Edinburgh angst pretty cheap too

If it's a decent day try get lunch at The Tower restaurant (it's attached to the museum on Chambers Street) great view of the castle from the terrace

Good wee pub that. I booked out the alcove on the right of the bar for my birthday last year. Good selection of whisky!

Glad to see you've enjoyed your trip mate.
