I spent three wonderful days in Edinburgh at the festival; thanks to Eva I could explore Arthur's Seat which is just around the corner from her flat, she always has helpful tipps and things (like umbrellas) at hand, is very nice, open, uncomplicated and completely trustful. It is a nice place a bit off the festival madness, you get some privacy which is a relief after the full and hectic days. Holyrood Palace is directly round the corner so you feel a bit like the Queen. Enjoyed it very much. Cheers!
