I was fortunate and blessed to live in Edinburgh, Capital city of Scotland for 10 months as a part of my onsite assignment

This is one of the calm cities I have ever seen in my life.

So, as a part of Edinburgh tales I would like to post several places I visited near by Edinburgh in parts

Commute:

As we need to commute to office daily, we had taken a monthly bus pass and the same was used to reach this place, with a bit of walking from the nearest bus stop

Others can buy a day pass (costing around 4£) to travel from one place to other in Edinburgh at a affordable price. Lothian buses (like BMTC in Bengaluru) are well connected to travel within Edinburgh easily. By downloading the android app, we will also know the bus arrival time to our bus stop which can hep us manage time as well

Note: During our stay most places near by Edinburgh, were visited by travelling in Lothian buses

Food:

As this place is near to Princess street, we have wide variety of options to eat (both for vegetarians and non-vegetarians)
