Take a night time guided ghost walk / do the A/Seat thing / do the zoo / do the Holyrood Palace thing / Castle / watch the fireworks at the end of the tattoo / eat a lot - try the haggis of course, and deep fried Mars bars - with curry sauce / do not buy a souvenir bagpipe set / do spit on the Heart of Midlothian / do the Royal Yacht Britannia if you fancy it - walking round a boat for an hour.....
Lots to do - take the days as they come and enjoy......
