Other Notable Recommendations:

— Royal Mile — Lively but not packed; explore independent shops.
— Dean Village — Idyllic stroll along the Water of Leith, great for photos.
— Calton Hill — Sunset or sunrise views; fewer crowds than Arthur’s Seat.
— Day Trip / Golf Trip to St. Andrews — Only about an hour north of Edinburgh, drive up the coast for a more scenic route.
