Excellent for the Fringe

On the fringe of Edinburgh with a superb location near the north coast and beaches of Silverknowes, this site is also ideally situated for daily visits to Edinburgh. You can drive 5 minutes where you will find free on street parking, and then get the buses (£1.50 each way) which run at 10 minute intervals into the city. Your 40 minutes on the top deck (with free WiFi) will give you a good view of the Ocean terminal and then the excellent georgian buildings as you approach the city. We traveled in on 6 days and saw 18 shows during the last week of August 2015 of the fringe festival. We also visited the castle (free to EH members) and had an interesting free tour of the Scottish Parliament building completed in 2004. Lunch in the Dome restaurant in George Street, a 'palm court' setting and not as expensive as you might think. A lovely clean site and weather good enough to cook breakfast outside on the barbecue each morning. A week to remember!
