Sightseeing
Lovely old pub with a log fire making for a wonderful cosy atmosphere. Nice selection of ales and spirits. Leads onto a river walk with a hidden wee waterfall. Just South of Edinburgh but well worth the trip in good weather.

Arts & Culture
Fabulous, free, large museum with ever changing exhibits. Avoid the cafe's though...overpriced, understaffed and poorly laid out. Take a packed lunch instead or head out to Bobby's cafe or Rudi's on Forrest Road when you're done...
