My new favourite parking spot for Edinburgh is in the Omni, which is a car park in the centre close to St James and the Balmoral Hotel. A short route to our Old Town accomodation along The Royal Mile and also handy for Princes Street, although sadly Jenners is still out of action awaiting an extensive rebuild.
I havn't revisited Edinburgh since the trams came into service, and I was slightly surprised to see the relatively short route, considering the many years of disruption whilst they were being constructed. It seems a shame that the overhead catenary system along Princes Street is so dominant, as it breaks up the sight lines to the Scott Monument. But then, the Stadium seating at the castle also breaks the sight lines, so I guess it's a thing.
We are usually in Edinburgh when it is Fringe time, so this visit gave a chance to see the normal bustle of the place. Quieter overall.
But still busy inside the Witchery.
