Good location for Edinburgh city

We stopped here for one night on our way back down south after being up at Aberdeen. The way in through the outskirts of the city are a bit industrialised and ugly and full of potholes , however the site itself is a stones throw from the coast and once within its gates , it is very countrified setting. Welcome was good , with the warden giving us a lot of information , abut everything , she was very helpful.. Able to pick your own pitch , we had one close to the toilet block ( which in hindsight maybe too close as the door closing on the toilet block could be heard every 10-15 mins ! ha ha , also so late at night ?) Anyhow we initially tried the public transport , we picked to use the bus stop which was down a "path" running down the side of the site , I would not advise using this at night , looked a decidedly "dodgy" footpath. We caught the bus and went into the city to see Brittania which was well worth a visit although £16.50 per adult entry , but we liked it. We then returned to the site to get our Smart car and went back into the centre of the city , which was buzzing and we had a good night there. Next day went to have a shower , in our block there was only 4 showers and there was a constant queue for them I wasn't going to queue so eventually after an hour and half I went over and found one empty , I can never work out why they have so many sink cubicles ? Surely better to turn some of these into more showers ? Cant put my finger on it but the site atmosphere was not great , maybe a lot of overnighters or something but just didn't seem a friendly site , pitch layout didn't help either as you could see most of the site from your pitch and it was a bit of a maze to get around. The motor hone service point by our block also posed an issue as there was only one drain and it was on the wrong side for my unit , which meant I had to drive down the one way the wrong way to drive over it , luckily I recognised the warden from Sandringham , a lovely lady and she left me off ! Overall a "nice" site , very good for visiting Edinburgh , but I would probably only use it as a stopover and not for a long break
