My wife and I will be in Edinburgh for three days at the end of next week. Any stores or sites that I shouldn't miss? |

Edinburgh Castle should be number one on the list. Take the tour when you do. Then walk up High Street to Holyrood Abby stopping at all the sites. Terry |

+1 for the castle. Especially if you are a Napoleonics fan as the Eagle for the 45th Line that was captured at Waterloo is on display. |

Just along from the castle is St Cuthberts church – which has the most wonderful graveyard (if you like feeling like you're walking around in a Hammer Horror movie !) |

3 days is not enough. I would suggest two visits to the Castle one with a tour one by yourself taking time over your own interests. The Royal Mile, this is the High street Cannon Gate and some other names, deserves a good time once with a tour guide if possible and other times to your own interests. Holyrood Palace needs the tour guide now wandering by yourself not allowed. This would fill 3 days to me but if you have the time Carlton Hill is worth a visit. x42 |

Don't forget a coach tour out into the countryside Edinburgh is good but experiencing the surrounding areas is great. If you like Scotch a distillery tour is a good way to pass a day |

Definitely take a coach if you tour the distilleries. They give samples. Don't forget New Town, an early example of city planning and cool Georgian buildings. |

Craigmiller castle is also worth a visit – from the centre of Edinburgh it's about 30 minutes by bus & a short walk. |
