Here are a few places you may want to plan a visit with children when you are here - we took a US couple's 9-year-old on one of the Auld Reekie ghost tours late at night and it was a HUGE hit!! Nothing like a few ghost and ghouls to excite!
Alien Rock Scotlands Capital Climbing Centre
Royal Museum of Scotland - Good interactive science section
Public Observing - Observatory on Calton Hill
Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
National Museum of Flight - You can see Concorde here (in East Lothian – around a 30-minute drive away)
