what are you wanting to visit?

I don't work for the tourist board but here are some things off the top of my head!

If you want to be a tourist punter in Edinburgh:
Edinburgh Castle - the official website
Welcome | The Real Mary King’s Close
Visit Scotland

Outside Edinburgh:
knockhill racing circuit?/
Some good beaches down the east coast just outside edinburgh and in fife.
Some good bars in town - stay away from the cowgate/lothian road/(and the pubic triangle)

if you want to go for a jaunt to the hills head for Glencoe - pretty sick scenery round there and if you want to go even further check out Gairloch in the highlands or even further Applecross

show us some picks if you head north!

cheers

The Dingwall, Achnashellach, Achnasheen, Strathcarron Way is so much nicer. Better Road, Better Scenery. And no bus loads of Tourists!

the Falkirk wheel is well worth a visit, come on the first Thursday night of the month and catch the monthly cruise event too!

Striling and Edinburgh castles are both fantastic, and the Edinburgh dungeons and ghost walk are worth a visit if you're in town a bit later

I'm based in Edinburgh these days, so if you fancy a night on the town then drop me a PM
