text: I was on a short visit to Scotland and had booked to take the sleeper train from Edinburgh It had been a few years since I would visited the city so I was looking forward to catching up With a few hours to kill I decided to see a film and get something to eat before meeting friends at an Old Town bar I was directed to the OMNI centre a new build leisure centre not far from WaverleynOn the plus side it was convenient food and movie in one central location And architecturally the design was interesting although it did not so much incorporate the old building beside it as look to be in the process of swallowing itnOn the minus side it was Anytown UK The charm of Edinburgh is its idiosyncrasy look around and there is nowhere else you could be but the Scottish capital The OMNI was completely anonymous with the charm of an airportnFair enough the cinema was comfortable and clean The restaurant the Filling Station apparently a chain of barrestaurants was reasonably priced the pizza tasty and the service nice But I could not wait to get out of the place and head to a warm real place We ended up at the Malt Shovel
