Where do I go for a delicious afternoon tea in Edinburgh?

[MrsHelenBee]

I've posted on here previously regarding the surprise trip to Edinburgh I was planning for my husband to mark our anniversary. I had LOADS of great tips for places to go, where to eat and where to stay, so I've got so many recommendations to go by, which is amazing, and I'm getting excited now - thank you lovely people!!!
I'm hoping to have a yummy afternoon tea somewhere on the day of our anniversary (Friday 30th October). Anyone had a delicious experience with sandwiches and cakes?
I've never done a proper afternoon tea but have heard people rave about tiered cake stands of the most scrummy food. I don't mind paying out a bit, and the menu at The Caledonian in the city sounded A-mazing, but at £32 a head, that's a bit beyond much for my budget!!
Can anyone out there help with some suggestions?

The Caledonian without a doubt, it's not cheap but worth every penny. I would put it up there with Claridges ( birthday pressie - stunning! )
If you do book , ask for a "proper" table. Some of the the tables are low coffee tables.

Oops! No 11 Brunswick Street also does a nice afternoon tea. Often on itison, groupon etc.

Oh no the cale is nothing like claridges. Poor in comparison. My opinion of course

Sorry, got my east end & west end muddled up .
The Balmoral is the best in Edinburgh!
