Edinburgh next week - what's happenning?
 
It looks like we (wife & I) will be in Edinburgh for a few days mid-week next week. As tourists. :cool:
Not sure if we'll drive there in the S8 or go by train/plane......:-(
Anyone local know of any good events midweek, or places to visit that are open this time of year?

No idea where we'll stay but probably as near to the centre as we can. Last time we were there it was at SMWS in Leith but I'm no longer a member. :mad:

Cheers.

There's the Britannia, the castle, the shops, the endless tram works.

Most of the tourist stuff is on all year round, may even be a decent show on. And you're an hour from Glasgow by car or train too.

Living near the HS2 route you really ought to get a flavour of the issues by visiting the tram works - send your wife up by train, drive yourself and try and finding your way to Haymarket station. :mad:

That said Princess Street is really nice and quiet with most of the buses off it!

http://www.list.co.uk/events/ is good for whats on.

Have a good visit.

Well we're booked, staying on Princes Street right near the station.
First class on the train so 4 hours each way of reasonable comfort with a meal included.
Might try and "reactivate" my SMWS membership on a temporary basis....
