there is a back street in Edinburgh thats made up like a street from the wild west with salon smithys ect very interesting
Probly already got a block booking arranged in a sauna?My two step-sons and two of their mates are going to Edinburgh for a long weekend.
They plan on visiting a whisky distillery, but apart from that, they're not too sure.Has anyone any suggestions as to what they should do/see?
Lol just remember to get the right one; I remember being sat on the train crossing the Forth Rail Bridge and two old ladies asked, 'Is this the train to Glasgae?'Go to @Telemark s hoose for home made soup, bread, and a fine assortment of cakes .
THEN jump on the first train to Glasgow ......
Tell them not to mention John Rebus when in there though, you might get away with saying Jackie Leven liked the bar (he did an album with Ian Rankin and they also appeared on stage together a few times. The newish Rebus novel "standing in another mans grave" is from a misheard Jackie song title and the book is dedicated to him)Glenkinchie distillery.
camera obscura.
the zoo - for the views from the top as much as anything.
Ignore the tourist tat Whisky shops at the castle end of the royal mile and stroll right down the other end to Cadenheads.
Leith is worth a wander.
The parliament building is an interesting building to look at.
Another nearish site is the Falkirk Wheel - more a family thing than a lads weekender, as is the Sea Life center under the Forth bridge.
There's Rebus's Oxford Bar too.
The last few times I have been to Edinburgh I have watched some rugby.
