Mid-term invasion of Edinburgh

A question about : Mid-term invasion of Edinburgh

We are really looking forward to the upcoming visit of Pink-Winged and her family in just over a week's time and have plans made to do a jumpy-oot Ghost Tour with the kids and a girlie visit to Ikea

I think Pink also plans to visit Edinburgh Castle and the (by now) traditional open topped bus tour of the city.

Anyone else from MSE visiting Edinburgh in the next wee while that would like to say hello on this thread?

Best answers:

• Much as I would love to be visiting Edinburgh again I am afraid that we have other plans. Hope you have a great time with Pink and family.

• Sorry....I'll be too busy too.
  (I'm staying at home sulking that my lot will be back at school by then and I just can't play!)
• I would love to visit Edinburgh again, it's warm and sunny and no rain.
  (Ok it was still summer when I was there!)
  I will definitely visit again at the first chance I have though as I think it's a great place.
• Well im coming to edinburgh at hogmanay hopefully...if i can get any decently priced accommodation.....just out of curiousity....is it worth bringing the kids to the street party?? ive never been so im not sure what it is like.
  thanks fae Glasgow

• scottishf,
  We have got two rooms at a travelodge. They are doing Ј10 rooms at the moment, so maybe worth a look. Travelodge are basic but clean...which is all we need as we hope to be out all day and only plan to sleep and shower there.

• Gosh it's only nine days away! I'm getting excited now!
  I fell in love with Edinburgh the first time I saw it. It's a fabulous city with so much to offer all ages. This will be my third visit this year. Mr Pink has never been,.....I'm hoping he likes it as much as I do, so we can go back again and again. Ohhhhh I can't wait!!!

  Fran, the sunshine did help didn't it. I was there in January and it was still as much fun then, if a little colder!
  aliasojo..........I'm so disappointed that you can't be there, but hopefully there will be other times.
• We expect a detailed report when you get back ... you gotta give us all the gossip on Edinburghlass. Have a great time
  Ivan
• Have a great time - I shall be thinking of you ...... enviously
  * Hey, Pink ... can you smuggle me in your suitcase? I've not been to Edinburgh since I was 12yo*
• psst Queenie as "they" arrive on 31 October I need to make spider jellies
  Any clues??
• Edinburghlass,
  Don't forget the apple tarts with money wrapped in greaseproof paper.

  Mr Pink says that if you get us thrown out of the travelodge, well have to come and stay with you.
• Look, I'm no OS'er...
  If it can't be bought in Tesco you've had it
