Took the 702 in the end, nice road. (IMO) So if the 702 is a nice Road, can't wait to do the 'scenic' moffat road coming home:thumbup:

 

Tents are up, beers are out, and the sun is shining. Some nice trees here too

Will be in Edinburgh on Monday with the wife and binlids.

 

Have a great time!

Er well make sure you bring your brolly. The sun has gone in:lol:

[RobArb]

Typical British weather:biggrin:

We are having some pretty epic showers at the moment - about 4 inches of rain so far this week!

 

Where abouts are you staying?

[RobArb]

Mortonhall, just south of Edinburgh. Nice place, apparently, it's got its own arboretum, will check it out at some point:thumbup:

[Big J]

Very good. I assume it's festival related holidaying?

 

If you want any recommendations for stuff to see and places to go, just ask. We've been here 8 years now and we've done almost all the touristy stuff.

No camping:biggrin:

 

Going the royal botanic gardens at some point and booked tickets to the zoo and to see the pandas. My missis wants to go to a beach but the weather ain't great:lol: other than that, think we're gonna pretty much mooch so recommend away:thumbup:

Best beach (reasonably) locally is Belhaven Bay, near Dunbar. A couple of miles of golden sands. Not much surf forecast though, so it won't be that spectacular.

 

Best views of Edinburgh as a city are obtained from the top of Blackford Hill. Arthur's Seat is well worth the climb, but the problem is that once on top of it, you can't see it and it really stands out on the skyline from Blackford Hill.

 

I don't come into the city much any more (happier in forest and fields really), but as cities go, there aren't any in the UK that can really rival Edinburgh. Enjoy your stay!
