Edi/ Scot ATC

Flew into EDI International recently (first time in a long time) and was vectored all over the sky on the approach. seems that Scottish cause loads of snarl ups which EDI controllers are expected to alleviate. Not very professional, and V frustrating at the end of a long day to be sent all over the sky to allow an airbus to have his stabilised approach at around ten miles @ less than 160 kts. Of gourse cynically speaking maybe the controllers mum likes seeing aircraft performing aerobatic displays outside her window whilst waiting to land at Edinburgh International.
P.S. is Runway 12/30 an active runway or an aircraft parking lot - wonderful things notams....
