Friends visiting Edinburgh - any "must sees"?

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Try www.nts.org.uk, the website for the National Trust for Scotland for a list of "be sure and visit" sites in Edinburgh, and throughout the country.

The Falkirk Wheel would also need a bus or taxi from Grahamstoun or Falkirk High stations.

But well worth it if they have the time.

If they get out as far as the Falkirk Wheel they shouldn't miss the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle. All three are well worth the effort. Once again, Scotland is a small country, but don't let the size fool you. Our first trip was eleven days and we only scratched the surface! I'm afraid that the only thing a cruise will accomplish is to make them hunger for more.
