Guest Houses in Edinburgh - Prices and Reviews

Day One - Wednesday 12 Aug - Our arrival in Edinburgh was tricky thanks to the re-installation of their city tram and all the associated work going on. Apparently they took it out 50 years ago and have no decided they want it back. Unfortunately our directions to the Guesthouse meant catching a bus at a now non-existant bus stop! We had caught t...
