Now that the NCP at St James is out of action, this is the car park that we tend to use when we are…read morein Edinburgh. With the entrance located in an alleyway down the side of an office block, it is not the easiest car park to navigate. There are no signs pointing you toward it and you will have to do a lot of circling round. It is never really that busy, but all the spaces on the upper levels (closer to the street) seem to be taken every time we come in, forcing us to go down deeper into the bowels of this dungeon to find a space. On the very bottom level (-4) you will always find a space since not many people seem to use this car park. Try and get near the lifts if you can as the car park goes on for miles and you could easily get lost. The lifts in the top left hand corner take you to the footbridge that leads to John Lewis, the middle lifts bring you out at Leith Street and the furthest away lifts take you to the back of the Omni Centre. Once you get to the surface, you will need to hold your token against the sensor for 5 seconds in order to unlock the door to get out. Sometimes the sensor is broken and the door will be left open but it honestly feels safer with the door locked, as no dodgy people can get in. The car park is really creepy though because of how deserted it always is and I always feel quite spooked out every time we have to walk through it. The layout is better than the NCP across the street and is more logical to navigate, whereas in St James, you will be stuck on a floor if there are no spaces and a car comes up because of the badly designed two way system and narrow roads. But apart from the spookiness, the confusing lift arrangement and the prices, it is a safe place to park and you won't have to worry about your car while you are shopping.

The Gyle is honestly just another shopping centre. Seeming much larger than the other malls in…read moreEdinburgh but still quite small compared to the big malls in Glasgow, the centre is bright and airy with a decent amount of shops. There are some shops here that you won't find in the city centre like WHSmith, The Disney Store and Morrisons combined with larger versions of high street stores like New Look and M&S, which are both much quieter and easier to navigate than their Princes Street stores. There is also a large Boots, a Next, generic coffeehouse chains like Starbucks and Costa and there are some stalls around the glass lift specialising in smoothies, cookies and pretzels. Upstairs, there is a foodcourt which offers Burger King, Metropole, McChen's, O'Briens and Spud U Like as its main vendors. Outside the centre is a branch of Frankie & Benny's. There are also cafes located within M&S and Morrisons. The toilets in the centre are pretty clean and are well maintained, which is rare for a capital city mall. With rumours of a new Primark on the horizon, an exciting opportunity awaits The Gyle. They will need to destroy some parking to fit it in but that doesn't matter. Just don't expect the Metrocentre and you'll be fine. It is just basic mod con shops. Nothing too fancy.

Price wise I believe is different depending on where you start. We alway stick to the return instead of one way. The station itself is pretty big. Lots of terminals so make sure to check the schedule to see where your train is at. Sometimes schedule changes so also be aware. There's a good amount of quick and easy eating places. Coffee shops as well. Right in the heart of the station, you'll find a couple of things to do. Mainly grab a drink if your waiting for your train.... lol... There alway security on hand if you have any questions about anything. The stations where you get on and off the train is pretty long so it could be a walk to exit if you're coming off from the end of train. It's a couple of flights on the escalator till you reach the top. There's an indoor waiting area as well as public restrooms. But if it's your first time, it could be a little intimidating finding your way around. Also a few different ways to enter and exit.

Edinburgh Waverley is nestled between the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh. It is surrounded by some…read morefamous 'neighbors' including Princes Street, Princes Street Gardens, and North Bridge- all of which are overseen by the imposing fortress, Edinburgh Castle. Visitors arriving into Edinburgh generally do so via one of two routes - fly into the city's airport, or disembark from a train at Waverley Station, the largest and most central of the city's two major stations. Waverley offers by far the most dramatic welcome into the city, with visitors emerging right into the heart of Edinburgh, with the castle ahead of you, the Old Town to the left, and the Scott Monument and New Town along to the right: it's kind of overwhelming while exiting. note: they have lift to take you to road level. Fact: it's the world's only railway station named after a work of literature. but prior to the station being named Waverley, it was formerly the North British Railway Station - run by the North British Railway company. There was a time when Scotland was referred to as 'north Britain', which may shed light on some of the country's identity issues!

Really good for peace of mind and ensuring my car is safe whilst I'm out of the country. No issues upon return either, again the shuttle bus was prompt and I left the parking area quickly and without issue. Would definitely use again.

Tucked away in an unpromising courtyard* off Constitution Street, Donald pretty much qualifies as a one-man trade secret among the classic French car fraternity, and can most often be found in his workshop, elbow-deep in some obscure piece of automotive history**. I came to know Donald through my first car - a troublesome 1979 Austin Maxi, which he basically kept on the road for me, long beyond the point where any reasonable mechanic would have suggested we push it into a lake. He improvised, adapted and spot welded it through several MOTs before I foolishly (sensibly, really) replaced it with a Nissan Micra, which he was kind enough not to judge too harshly. Donald's very softly spoken and doesn't waste his words, but is utterly passionate about cars and a very interesting man once you get him talking. A real diamond. * A courtyard where, incidentally, several of the slum scenes for the 1997 film adaptation of Jude the Obscure were shot. ** For example, he once spent six months with half of his garage taken up by a battered-looking 2CV - one of only a handful tailor-made for use in the Sahara. Two engines, one back, one front, with linked clutch, accelerator and gear shift - essentially a 4x4 2CV.

I…read morediscovered that the Cambridge Street Car Park (which is the one just about opposite Cowcaddens Subway Station) does a special offer on parking from 6pm to 6am. No matter how long you stay in the carpark between the two times - there's a simple flat fee of £1.50. Bargain? Bargain! That means that if you're off into town for the Cinema or the like, it's actually a LOT cheaper to drive in than it is to get the Subway or the bus. Especially if there's more than one of you. Plus, Cambridge Street carpark is brightly lit and secure - if you want to get into the building as a pedestrian you have to swipe a valid carparking ticket. It's also never busy, which means you'll always be able to get a space on the ground floor within about ten paces from the pay station. Ah, my nightly cinema trips will never be the same......

ParkatmyHouse is at the same time local and international, and it creates fantastic connections…read morebetween individuals who want parking and those who have parking spots available. When I bought a new flat that came with a parking spot, I looked around for different ways to turn my spot into a mini-business by renting it out since I don't have a car and therefore can't use the spot myself. ParkatmyHouse was super easy to set up my parking spot for free online, choose how much I want to rent it out for (by hour, day, week or month), and upload photos and a description of how to find it. It is also really easy for those who need parking spaces. This ranges from locals who need spots in different areas of town for a few hours or out-of-towners who are looking to stay a few days, or those looking for long-term parking. They just search by location, price, or online rating to find a parking spot, spare driveway, or garage space that's convenient to them, and then they can book online. The site is fantastic in making connections between individuals that never would have been forged before. I've really enjoyed hearing from various visitors who ask me about my spot and how far it is from different places around Edinburgh, or who tell me how convenient the spot was for their race at Holyrood Park, their trip to the Parliament or their week-long holiday with their wife to celebrate her 40th birthday. It's really fun hearing these stories of the individuals who come and go from the spot, and I'm really happy it's going to good use and making people's lives easier to be able to find and book safe parking spots for their time in Edinburgh. Of course being paid for renting out the spot is always a bonus, too, and ParkatmyHouse makes it so easy to set and change prices for the spot, and to transfer the money into my bank account after people come to stay! This has been a brilliant local and international business to use, and I think it really helps people on both sides who want to rent or rent out a parking spot. The site is quite fun to use and makes life easier for locals and visitors alike.

Given that a good number of both commuter and longer distance trains stop here, I often can. Virgin, TransPennine Express, CrossCountry and Scotrail all use this station, so although it's Edinburgh's second station it can still get pretty busy at times. I find it easier to navigate than Waverley, though, and this makes up for it. There's loads of bike racks right outside and you can get taxis and buses from here too but there's no car parking that I've seen. In particular, though, it's the place to start if you're heading to Edinburgh Airport by bus. There are ticket machines and ticket barriers and the station is staffed full time. There's free WiFi through Scotrail, payphones, ATMs etc. Toilets are on platform 4. There's also a couple of coffee stands and a small M&S Simply Food.
