Yarn Lam: Huge place to explore the many war museums within the castle. Don’t miss seeing the Crown Jewels and there are mediaeval music performances in the Great Hall. Views are amazing too.
Yarn Lam: Black & Blue burger was great, as were the sweet potato fries! Lunch deal comes with a drink as well as a discount on the burger, worth it for £12!
Yarn Lam: Fantastic audio tour (free with your ticket) which lets you learn about every room at leisure. No photos allowed inside (it’s a working palace after all) but exhibits are really fascinating.
Yarn Lam: Went on an hour-long trip to Craigleith and the Bass Rock to see gannets and was lucky enough to spot a white cormorant too! Guide was young but knowledgeable and the skipper was great!
Yarn Lam: Interesting exhibits to learn about seabirds and the marine ecosystem around the area. Don’t order mac & cheese at the cafe though, it’s inedible
Yarn Lam: £8 per adult entry for guided small group tour (12 pax max) up to the top for great views of Edinburgh. Tour time every 30 mins. It’s 221 steps but broken down into 3x manageable 60-odd steps.
Yarn Lam: So much to see here, couldn’t finish in a day! Don’t miss the Millennium Clock, it chimes on the hour from 10:00-16:00. What a fun 4 minute long display of mechanical wonder!
Yarn Lam: Conveniently located along the Royal Mile and walking distance from Edinburgh Waverley station, well-equipped rooms and friendly front desk. Comfortable beds.
Yarn Lam: Not the best brewery tour (it’s more a small museum, some disco “ride”, and games revolving around Heineken sports sponsorship) but at least I get to pay a small amount for a personalised bottle!
Yarn Lam: Buy tickets in advance, slots are timed. The Girl with a Pearl Earring and the Rembrandts make the price worth it but the other pieces are great too!

Yarn Lam: Kimchi pancakes come in small sizes, tell the staff how many pieces you want. BBQ soy pork collar, kimchi soup, japchae, fried boneless chicken make for a super hearty meal. Yum!
