St Giles' Cathedral 
This magnificent 12th century cathedral, in the middle of the Royal Mile was church of the famous preacher, John Knox.  Filled with fascinating stories, architecture and artifacts
.

Greyfriars Church and Graveyard
 
The National Covenant.  The Covenanter's Prison.  The Mackenzie Poltergeist.  Greyfriars Bobby.  How much history is in this place?

National Museum of Scotland
 
Across the road from Greyfriars and even more incredible history.  Obviously.  It's a museum.

Museum of Childhood 
Just like the national museum.  Except it's all toys!

Arthur's Seat 
It's big.  It's green.  It has ducks.  It's a mountain and a park in the middle of the city.  Get your hiking boots out and commune with nature.

The Botanic Gardens
Three centuries old, this is the bees knees when it comes to horticulture.
