After their trip to Oban, my parents spent a few days exploring Edinburgh. We stayed in city centre, exploring the royal mile and princes street for the most part. That is where the big sites are to see; they saw the castle, St. Giles, the palace, Parliament, went on a haunted underground tour (we did the Auld Reekies grave tour, not as good as the others we have been on. If you ever come I would recommend going on the City of the Dead tour instead), and hiked up the craigs by Arthurs Seat. Also fit in some museums including the art gallery, writers and children's, and local must see sites like Bobby's Bar, and the Elephant house. Timing was also perfect to enjoy a Mardi Gras parade that took place during the Jazz Festival. The weather was beautiful; sunny Scotland skies do occasionally come through.
