Scotland it's a big place,
lots of space,
One month of time,
let’s cut it down.
Edinburgh -
Old town,
Pebbled ground,
Turn around,
Sea front?
How about...
Ten things you could to do in Edinburgh -
1. Spend a whole entire afternoon in the National Museum of Scotland and only leave when the fire alarm goes off.
2. Take a tour of the Castle and learn about the one o'clock gun - did you know the Scots were a little tight on cash so they changed the time that the 12 O'clock gun was fired to one O'clock so they only had to fire one cannon rather than 12. Well that's what our tour guild said, the hint of Scottish in me prefers me to tell that they were rather economical - well done the Scots!
3. Walk for an hour along the coastal road until you reach a little town (be careful not to miss it -its more like a road with shops) when you get there buy an "Italian" ice cream and walk back. (It wasn't Italian, It wasn't that great but the sun was shining and we were travelling)
4. Notice the paving slabs with quotes around the town - did you see the one with the world on it?
5. Spontaneously book a trip to The Gambia without telling anyone just 'cause you saw a really good deal and before you knew it you've entered your details and clicked confirm all without thinking. Great well you're going now so you better start planning!
6. Buy a Haggis in a tin - If you are flying on don't put it in your hand luggage! Although the total volume is equal 200ml and the Haggis takes up more than 90% of that space the airport staff will still most likely insist that they pierce the tin to let the liquid out. Well yeah I guess I would do the same - we don't want that haggis blowing up on the plane now certainly not with the new liquid regulations!
7. Work for ISIS Education and Travel and take a bunch of really great I
talian kids on day trips and walking tours - what a great way to learn and teach some Scottish History.
8. At the end of your Edinburgh sightseeing, count how many times you see or hear about Mary Queen of Scots - She gets everywhere that Queen.

9. Discover the local pub the night before you start work and drink a hot chocolate just because you are too responsible to let down a bunch of eager kids down and to be honest you'd rather enjoy the look on the barman's face when you order and ask... "do I get a free biscuit with that?"
10. Get your Camera out at 4am to take photographs of the sun rising on your way back to bed from the toilet.
So there you have it, there are ten things you could do, you could also take a photo of the moon during day, visit the Royal Botanic Garden and a whole lot more but that should be enough to get you started.
