It's now 1pm - "lazy morning" is over.

Need to go out as I don't want to waste a whole day of our holidays.

Don't want to spend much money, don't want to walk too far.

We've done several museums already (DS2 and 3 now getting bored of them), we've been down the Royal Mile, up Arthur's Seat, along princess Street, done 2 bus tours (including the bus and boat one), Cragmillar isn't far from where I'm staying - but we've already done Inchcolm and Linlithgow,

Where should we go - what should we do??????

Go to Leith Waterworld and swim? Go to Dynamic Earth? Get in the car and go to East Link park - totally fab but near Dunbar. The big park on the Meadows - free and great. Play on the beach at Portobello or Yellowcraigs for less town beach, Chambers St museum, up to the observatory and round Blackford pond - nice ducks, nice small hill ..., climb Carlton hill, museum of flight ....

Good luck and have fun!

Ice cream in Musselburgh?

Day out at North Berwick?

Scotrail is running a "kids go free" promotion on Day Return tickets.

Agree with park in Meadows, is fab. Any beach, Silvernowes, Cramond both on bus routes ( don't know where you are) Art galleries, Royal and Belmont, Walk along Water of Leith, Museum of Childhood Botanoc Gardens?

Or even, Botanic Gardens....sorry.

Have you been to Craigmillar Castle?

thanks for the suggestions - my brother got back from work and has taken over entertaining them for the afternoon.

He's just taken them out to the park - and the shop for some coke and some mentos.......to make rockets outside with apparently.

Have you been to Camera Obscura on Royal Mile - it's brilliant

Also look at anything on at Book Festival Or other Fringe?
