I quite like Edinburgh for a night out as it's very much a change for me, it is however much more expensive.

Me and the Mrs have a couple of nights in Edinburgh in 2 weeks time.

Do any of you nice chaps/chapes's have any good ideas what we can do there?

I will try and take a few photos and put them on here!

Regards

Jon

Secret Rolex fact alert - The street in the middle of the pic with the white bus driving up it is Frederick Street. The building on this street with 4 white windows on top that is half dark grey and half sand coloured - if you follow the middle of the building down at the bottom right of the dark grey part there is a white block - This is the Rolex clock which sits on the outside of Laing the Jewellers. Kinda hard to spot here but it's there.

Who else wouldv'e spotted that?
