Edinburgh (UK)
-
The most beautiful city in the UK, lots of history and character. Incredible building, friendly people, cosmopolitan atmosphere, great nightlife, a real "explore on foot" city.
-
Princes Street does, but the Royal Mile and the Cowgate are still stunning. The messed up bit is the uglier part anyway
-
Around the Royal Mile there are plenty of really nice, and cool local bars and pubs serving locally produced food, all of which is extremely nice. Shopping wise, it doesn't have masses of interest in a clothing sense, but there are some interesting boutique type stores around the Cowgate and Haymarket regions of the city, the rest is fairly standard fare (H&M etc…).

Will be hitting town next week - any suggestions for food/dinner/shopping?

There is a thai restaurant, which I can't remember what's called OR more than approx where is, but I loved the food
If you are renting a car/going a bit about, let me know, drove a roundtrip in Scotland last year and hopefully I can come with a few more interesting tidbits than the one above.
You were going to glasgow too, right? I still recommend the huge graveyard by st. mungo's cathedral.

You may be thinking of this place: http://www.dusit.co.uk/ - it is really good.

We will try the Thai restaurant for sure!
I have been to Scotland in my early days quite frequently - I still remember Edinburgh fondly.
My wife though, being American, has never been to England or Scotland - so we decided to fly over, rent a car for 2 weeks and roam the country side. The plan is to fly into Edinburgh, next to Glasgow, get around Loch Lomond and Luss, off to Isle of Skye, over to Lewis & Harris, maybe Thurso and Orkney, down to Inverness and Loch Ness. That and all the castles along the way should do it.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Saw this show about the Edinburgh vaults the other night. Any of you guys been down there?
We went last year, to St Marys Court, the old underground streets, great tour, very atmospheric.

Had diner at Dusit yesterday evening - definitely recommended!
The city was pretty much how I left it 20 years ago - did the Royal Mile, Hollyrood Palace and the town. The wife loved it.
Heading for Areo Leather today and further on for Glasgow.–-
