Hello from Edinburgh, and congratulations on your forthcoming wedding!

The suggestion so far have been excellent. I would recommed plaisir du chocolat, and a good wander up and down the High Street (aka the Royal Mile). The underground tour I thought was really good (even as a resident!), and although the castle and Holyrood Palace are expensive, they’re worth a look. Other places would be the Botanic Gardens, take a bus out to Roslyn Chapel (incredible place, really stunning), and several galleries worth a visit.

Food wise I would recommend Restaurant Martin Wishart (you can google this and get the website). It happens to be in Leith, and is arguably the best in Edinburgh, if not Scotland. Not cheap, but it is your wedding!

Final recommendation would be a book, namely ;

Even as a resident I use this to find interesting things around Edinburgh (and Scotland in general). I would heartily recommend getting the most recent one.

Feel free to drop me a mail through the site if I can help with anything. I’ll try to help out if I can.

Senninha,

Thank you for all the recommendations. We have heard mixed reviews about the castle due to the price and such but we think we might give it a go!

My fiance and I are both really picky eaters so not too sure about expensive restaurants… because we won’t normally try new things to eat :-P

We’d really like to find cheap places to eat food we are used to like chicken, rice/noodles, toasted cheese sandwich, salads, cold sandwhiches, soups, pizzas and pastas :-)

I know, I know… not very exciting LOL.

Appreciate the help.
