Edinburgh Castle?
G'day,
Just wondering if anyone has stayed at the O's Mess at the Edinburgh Castle whilst on leave? What's it like and do they have problems with O's from other commonwealth countries staying?
Thanks,
PLE...

The Royal Scots Club in Abercromby Place is very central indeed and not that expensive - you don't need to be a reciprocal member -it's a kind of hybrid Hotel cum Officers Club -lovely Dining Room etc - try

Only if the officers concerned are English! More seriously, NRU's suggestion is excellent if you have no joy at the Castle. Just don't omit to visit it, FOC with ID.

G'day Gents,
Many good ideas there. Thanks I think we should be just fine.
Can't wait to get back we've got some wonderful memories from our last visit in 03.
Of all the places the CIC and I enjoyed Ballachulish the most. Remember enjoying a wonderful steak and seeing a pair of Harriers snotting down the loch. http://www.ballachulishhotel.com/
Enjoy!

There is a Royal Auxiliary Air Force unit (603 City of Edinburgh Sqn) located in Edinburgh - unfortunately the town house which is its HQ has no accommodation.
The former RAF Turnhouse is still crumbling away on prime development land next to Edinburgh Airport.
