They must breed miserable SOB's for ATC at Edinburgh.
I still carry the scars from their abusive & disruptive efforts 21 years ago when starting from there for an FAI timed flight to London.

21 years ago!!!? Well, there's nothing like festering grudges to keep you going. If it was an FAI timed flight I'm guessing they weren't too keen on guaranteeing you a specific departure time and no delays. Sounds entirely reasonable to me.
gav28, it's not that they're not keen on GA, it's simply that GA has to fit in with the 90% of traffic which is commercial air transport. In addition to Greer you should ask Signature for a quote (0131 317 7447).
You will have to be very lucky to get an ILS and unless it's a Saturday evening you're unlikely to be fitted in. If you really want to get an ILS approach you should phone Edinburgh ATC in advance and ask to speak to the watch manager or supervisor (0131 333 6239). Be aware that if they're using 24 they may well put you on the localiser six miles out over the sea.
