Title: Trip to Edinburgh
Post by: ArneM on May 07, 2008, 08:42:11 PM

Hi all!

Some friends and me want to do a trip to Edinburgh for 4 or 5 days from 1-7 August 2008 but we are still searching for a small, cheap and clean flat for these days. Also we would like to see and drink something during these days.  ;D

Could you tell me some good bets and maybe also with some nice gardens to see?

Many thanks in advance.

Arne

Maybe this is worth a try for accommodation

Arne, Edinburgh Festival starts on 3 August - forget cheap. Everything small, cheap and clean is probaly booked already!
I would look away from Edinburgh but possibly take day trips in to the Botanics, etc.

That does not sound very well.

@ both Davids
