THINGS TO DO IN EDINBUROUGH? (1 Viewer)

[São Paulo Punk]

Going there for a few days with the in-laws and wondering if there's any good places to go to for...

1. Vegan food

2. Records

3. Sups

4. Museums n'all, culture etc...

Anyone know of some good places to go?

Best information wins an authentic Puget Sound ear-plug, as used by John (Smelly) Kelly at a recent band practice. (WAX INCLUDED)

Head out to the G8 convergence space and have a look perhaps?

THINGS TO DO IN EDINBUROUGH?

1. Learn how to spell 'Edinburgh' by paying close attention to the signs dotted around the city.

Some of the best records in my collection were sourced in this fine city. It was the city of punk back in 96, I believe.

Suck my balls.

theres a deadly hill called arturs seat overlooking the city - great spot for drinking cans and admiring the views.


lots of good pubs in centre - oh and vegan haggis is worth a shot.

1. Not sure

2. Avalanche is probably your best bet as far as I know, it's down a side-street off the Royal Mile which is the street that runs up the hill to the Castle, they have a small punk section really but there is usually some decent second-hand stuff of interest.

3. What the fuck is a sup?

4. There's a good few museums and art gallery's and shit, Edinburgh is good that way. There is a big gallery on one of the bridges off Prince's street which might be worth a look, also the National Museum of Scotland is on a street near the Royal Mile I believe. You should definitely check out the castle, dunno what it's like price-wise though, and you should try and take a ghost-tour if you can, they leave from somewhere near the train station I think. And there's always the Edinburgh Dungeon if it's open, although I've never been.
Also there might be some sort of punk gig on while you are there, not sure which venue they are using right now, used to be a place called The Mercat, but I think there's a new place open called The Subway which is doing gigs.

This is one of those family holidays (Fernanda's father, Fernando, is running the Edinburgh(thanks Mac!) Marathon on Sunday) so it'll be more of a pushing the pram around affair, taking photos of each other in front of statues, pointing at historical buildings and saying "Hmmm, nice..." etc.

I'll be busy all day Sunday at the marathon on 'Irish Priest Watch' in case Fernando gets attacked and loses his lead position.

Or you could dress up as the Irish priest and attack his competitors, that would be better.
There's a statue of Greyfriar's Bobby near the National Museum of Scotland as far as I remember, and statues on The Royal Mile, probably one or two on Prince's street, and you should have no problem finding a suit of armour to pose beside on the Royal Mile too. I wish I had a suit of armour.

if u get the chance, try do 1 of the walkin ghost tours, they leave from somewhere on the royal mile(u'l see it advertised for sure) every half hour or so in the evenings.i know it sounds corny but it's a deadly buzz!

although it probably wouldn't fit in wit the family holiday plan , or for anyone wit a history of heart trouble and/or stroke

best things to do is head up to arthur's seat (massive cliffs overlooking the city), do a trainspotting tour, pledge your alligence to the queen, and if you're there during the first few days of the festival, get free tickets to various shows.
the baked potato shops are good vegan grub...

If you get bored you could always try and get your wife pregnant again.
