Personal comments
Best about scotland is the blend of nature with the city. Things to do include going up the Crags and Arthur's site.
To do - visit the princes street gardens and the Castle! wonderful view from there!
Best Cafe - Rigs (great place to hang out with a few friends apart from Friday nights when the music is WAY too loud!)
