Edinbugh is lovely
Very ancient buildings all around, polite people and good public transportation. The museums are free! A very nice city, not much to do in the evening if you dont drink though.
Edinburgh Pocket Guide
Edinburgh is a city which you will warm to straight away. Walking down Princes Street, the city's main thoroughfare, Edinburgh Castle hangs proudly over the Scottish capital reminding the locals and tourists alike of the city's medieval past. There are endless streets to explore, both in the Old and New Towns, numerous shops to keep the shopaholics occupied, while at night the city comes alive with an eclectic mix of young and old filling the city's many restaurants, bars and clubs.

Good.
It was fine. It is a starkly beautiful city. There is not a whole lot to do, and I feel like the Scottish culture is somewhat lacking here.
Insider Tip:It is expensive!

Edinburgh
An amazing city to be enjoyed despite the rain. There are lots of hills and therefore many lovely views to discover, as well as many attractions to do for free, such as climbing up Arthur's seat and the museum. I went on a really great free walking tour, as well as a spooky walk called "the dark side" which really helped me get to know the city and it's interesting past.
Insider Tip:Be sure to sample some haggis-in many pubs you can get just a small portion to give it a try. Also, the Writer's Museum is a small, free and informative museum to spend an hour exploring.

Beautiful Edinburgh
Edinburgh is such a magical city. From the old medieval buildings to the countless Harry Potter allusions that can be seen all over the place, it's one destination you will never forget! Check out the castle (although it is severely overpriced), the Scotch Whiskey Experience and BY ALL MEANS make sure you climb King Arthur's Seat a couple hours before sunset. It's absolutely beautiful!!
Insider Tip:Stay at the Budget Backpackers Hostel. Great price and location! The staff really helped us plan a great 2 day trip

Amazing Edinburgh
Heaps of rich history and at times dark. I fell in love with Edinburgh even more after joining a free tour. It's really nice, minus the crazy cold weather of course!
Insider Tip:Check out this nice cafe called Baget Stuffed near the Uni. Their grilled panini was superb!
