    What to see in Edinburgh?

    It has been a while since I posted on the forum.....

    Anyway, I am due to come up to Edinburgh on the 18th December (and hopefully going dancing in Edinburgh) and then heading over for the Glasgow Party on 19th December.

    This is the first time that I have been to Edinburgh so I would like some suggestions about what to do and see while I am there over the two days....

    There is, of course, Edinburgh Castle (which I will try and walk up to ) but I did hear something about an underground city and is there anywhere that you can actually buy deep-fried mars bars?

    Thanks

    Hey Dizzy!

    Yep Castle is obviously a must-see: try and stick around the 1 O'Clock Gun .... at around 1 o'clock

    Greyfriars Kirkyard is famous for being the resting place of Greyfriars Bobby

    I've not yet tried it, but apparently you should be able to go to any chippy shop and be able to order deep-fried X (where X can be fish, pizza, hamburgers, black pudding, haggis, and even Mars Bars).

    I highly suggest you checkout these links:

    Hope that helps

    P.S. I'm not sure what I'm doing come that weekend as its close to my departure back to Australia, but if I'm able to make it, I might even catch ya there for a dance or two!

    I'd put at the top of your list having a dance with me at Red Hot and Blue on the Friday night.
    (http://www.dancedemon.co.uk/redhotblue.html)

    National Museum of Scotland is a must I would say
    (http://www.nms.ac.uk/our_museums/national_museum.aspx)

    As well as slipping in a few drinks on George Street (The Dome, Tiger Lily's etc…)

    Meeeeee (though I'll be in Glasgow for the entire time you are up, I think) .

    You coming through to Glasgow a bit early on the Saturday? Or are you coming through at all on Sunday? Or are you still around on Monday?

    I should have probably made this a PM. Oh well.

    I will have to speak to the lovely Yliander about what time we will be going to Glasgow on Saturday but it will be great to see you.

    Will let you know.
