Easy.

1) They have a quite splendid Zoo.

2) Edinburgh Waverley station (the UK's 2nd largest by area ocupied) is open all night, & there are few UK Railway Stations with more atmosphere. You can spend an entire night there & not get bored.

3) There are some really nice Tea Rooms on the Royal Mile.

4) You are only a short taxi-ride from Queensferry, on the banks of the Forth of Firth, & you can sit on the bank of the Forth, right between two of the world's finest & best looking bridges, & you can even see the chaps painting them, as I don't think they have finished yet.

Let me know if I can assist further.

That sounds like a reply in code to me.

"Wow, fantastic"

Assuming u thought they would all be 1,000-1, the tea rooms are probably less than 4/1 to get visited

I live in Edinburgh, on my phone just now, shall send you multiple links when at my laptop! I live accross the road from the dancing ladies, so may see you ha ha

There is a whiskey museum on the royal mile, always a good start, the underground vaults/ghost tours are quite comedy pissed too!  Tuk tuk is a really good Indian tapas place, ideal for stag, great food but not too formal, will have a good think

Been to Edinburgh loads of times for piss up weekends. It's actually a pretty good place to just wing it for a night out without worrying about too much of a plan.

Went to a clay pigeon shooting and quad bike racing place on a stag in Edinburgh once, that was good during the day.  Was about a bit outside the city though.
