Useful guide to Edinburgh covering lots of things to see and do.
A welcome gift from a friend.

Time Out Guides are, hands down, the best! Part magazine, part guidebook, this compact guide combines the traditional things you expect to find about itineraries, where to eat, and what to do, but also includes LOTS of callout boxes with topic focused articles that help you get to know the city better. For example, on page 175, there's a listing and descriptions of six essential Edinburgh films, on page 141 you'll find an article about "Edinburgh's Other Castle, All of the history, none of the crowds."
For my next trip, I'll definitely try to pick up a TimeOut Guide.

Extremely helpful - packed with useful information: Concise but informative. I particularly liked the way it gave the price of entry to museums etc - this helped me plan where to go more cost-effectively. I will definitely look for a Time Out guide to the next city I visit.

Clear organizational scheme for the city, dividing Edinburgh into comprehensible chunks.

The sites are described well with the most important information (days/time open, fees, etc) included.

The occasional bit of humor keeps things interesting.

An excellent guidebook to Edinburgh - both to use 'on the go' and to read more leisurely.
