    when I went up to Edinburgh
    to visit auntie Jane
    I must report quite truthfully
    that all we got was RAIN

    it rained the day we got there
    it rained the days we stayed
    it rained the day we went off home
    it rained the whole decade..!!

    we went up to the castle
    we went down Princes street
    it rained so hard we nearly drowned
    we should have had webbed feet

    so my advice if you should go
    make sure you take your mac
    and make sure that you stay indoors
    or you wont make it back..

    You can spy on him while he cheats on you with that girl he works with. How dare he!

    Some pretty good suggestions here, but I recommend that you disregard Darren M’s suggestion of Lava Ignite, or Cav as it’s generally known. It’s just about the tackiest, most horrible club in the world, and unless you want to get into a fight or get puked on by drunk girls in bunny girl costumes, I’d avoid if possible.

    I’d suggest The Jazz Bar on Chambers Street (right in the city centre). It’s a lovely, romantic bar with loads of atmosphere. You and your boyfriend can get a nice drink and see some live jazz music – it’s really nice.

    Historical stuff.

    Edinburgh Castle
    Holyrood Palace
    John Knox’s House
    Having a look round. Hop on, hop off bus, go round Edinburgh and explore wherever you fancy.

    Princes Street and Gardens, George Street, Royal Mile and Rose Street are all worth having a wander around, plenty of shops and bars.
    There are plenty of Museums and Art Galleries to hide in if the weather is bad.
    If you are looking for something to eat, there is a great choice of restaurants in Fredrick Street and Hanover Street that are reasonable.
    The Standing Order, in George Street, a Witherspoons bar, serves cheap food and drink all day.

    If you are going to use local transport, you can buy a day ticket on Lothian buses for £3.00 which lasts all day and will take you anywhere in the city.

    You could go and watch the Edinburgh Military Tatoo, I played in it once with their pipe band and we had to do something I had never done before. We had to make a thistle formation. I also got to bethe youngest to ever play with them. I made headlines. I was and am 12 yrs. of age when I did that, we were in Glasgow for worlds and made a nice 45 min trip down to Edinburgh.
