An October 2001 trip to Edinburgh by AndiJW
Quote: A brief trip to a city that has been a 'must do' location for a very long time, has spurred me to visit again. A powerful sense of belonging from the moment of arrival - be rocked by Edinburgh!
Overview
A visit to the castle is not cheap, at £7.50 for adults, but you cannot leave Edinburgh without seeing its castle. A walk in the park below the castle is also a must in autumn when the squirrels are hunting for food! There are hundreds of them running around and they are tame enough to sniff your hand or feed from it!
Hotel | "The Roxburghe Hotel"
Upon entering reception, you are greeted with a tinkling of the piano being played in the lounge, and flickering candle lamps to create a distingusihed ambiance.
The rooms are well-catered, extremely clean and of a very high quality. If you include breakfast with your stay, it is a satisfying start to the day with plenty to choose from the varied buffet.
To relax and unwind after a day''s exploring in Edinburgh, there is a gym, pool and sauna, open from early to late so you can fit it into your schedule.
