bikeperson45 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Main spots seem to be St Gilles cathedral (think that's what it's called), Hunter Square, outside the art gallery near the Scot monument and Bristol square. Have a look on Google Street view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Take a look no this map, A and B are both near Scot monument, a little bit along from that you see the national art gallery. Also it's Bristo square, not Bristol http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&biw=1024&bih=653&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=travelodge+in+edinburgh&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=travelodge&hnear=Edinburgh,+City+of+Edinburgh&ei=_BcJTa7IEcqJhQffpsyvDw&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=2&ved=0CAYQtgMwAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I would say, "come to Glasgow instead" but im geting sadistic in my old age so you might be better riding Edinburgh and asking Rab for a room for the night.
