And Edinburgh's so small there's no excuse not to do it all !
The List good list of what's going on as well as a good listing of restaurants.
From the list above, the must-see is the castle. There is a LOT to it. Walking up (or down) the Royal Mile gives you a good flavour of the older part of town.
