Also, it is traditional to greet Scots with the affectionate term 'yer big jesse'. Happy Holliday.

Pedda, we know Edinburgh pretty well. It's a beautiful place to be and there's plenty to do and see.
If you need any hints for eating or drinking let us know.

Possible addition to your itinerary could be the Scotch Whisky Association. Lister Square. EH3 9GL.

This is worth a visit before a dram. Although the fun of trying to climb a narrow staircase wide enough for a small person against the flow of people coming down has been reduced by restricting the number of visitors per hour.

The road to Applecross is interesting 😂
And the fish and chips at the Applecross Inn is worth the journey
