things to do in edinburgh?

I'm going to be going up to Edinburgh/Dundee for a couple of days next month, and im just wondering if any of you know some good things to do there? I'm going to be in the center of Edinburgh i believe so stuff within walking distance is preferable.

thanks in advance!

 

if you are there on a friday night i hear the improverts are always worth seeing (at bedlam theatre). Most of the stuff up here is arty stuff though which is a bit pants imo.

 

Get mugged!

 

He said Edinburgh, not Glasgow

There's the usual stuff.
Edinburgh Castle
Princes St Gardens
The Dungeons
Calton Hill
Botanic Gardens
Climb up Arthur's Seat
Greyfriars Church

Royal Museum
Holyrood Palace
Our Dynamic Earth
The Scottish Parliament
The Royal Yacht Britannia


If you are into photography, then Edinburgh provides lots of opportunities, also the Ansel Adams display is on at the City Art Centre until 19th of April.

Or just head down to the Grassmarket and tour the pubs

 

If you're up at the castle, then Camera Obscura is worth a visit.

 

Aye, was going to suggest that.

 

you forgot the Zoo.
& get a bus/train to Glasgow ...

 

thanks for all the recommendations! lots of stuff to check out it seems, we will definitely be going to the castle as we are staying really close to it, not sure about anything else, i guess it really depends on how much time we have free.

 

The whiskey place by the castle/camera obscura made for an interesting visit.

 

eat fried haggis tbh,
not that youll have much of a choice to have your food unfried!
