Eddie was a most gracious hostess! We had a lot of rain the afternoon and evening we arrived so her directions to the nearest restaurants were greatly appreciated :-) the flat is very conveniently located to the Royalmile and other sites of Edinburgh- although I had done research as to what sort of happenings were going on in Edinburgh for the day we were there I found it to be a lull. Low and behold when we left Edinburgh castle we could see and hear all sorts of bagpipes and engines revving and people cheering. The gumball 3000 road rally was beginning in Edinburgh that day!! Totally cool to see all the cars from all the nations :-)
