And a trip to Edinburgh, too

[Martha]

Hi everyone,

Inspired by Marc's request for information on London - and all the 
positive and helpful requests he got - I have a request of my own...

I'm going to Edinburgh in a couple of weeks, purely because I have 
never been. And it has just occured to me that I have no idea what is 
in Edinburgh or what there is to do. I looked at some of the official 
tourist board sites and so on, but they only seem to tell you where 
to buy antiques and aran sweaters. I'm intending to do some shopping 
and sightseeing and things - any ideas?

I would offer some suggestions about London in return, but (a) the 
tube scares me and (b) the information I have to offer involves where 
to buy rubber clothing and platform boots with fire on them.
