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.

For five days this cost £20 which to me worked out really well as a taxi to/from the airport would have cost this much each way. Located about a 5 minite drive from the airport, I had little difficulty finding a parking space and the wait time for the shuttle bus was under 3 minutes. 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.

It was my birthday and Angela B. and I were on an adventure and day of fun in the Burgh and here to visit moggies. Yay! I found it no problem and it misses out the messy bypass and all that. Through some roundabouts, clearly signed and boom car park in sight. Spaces not a problem and the terminal was directly across from where we had parked. I had done a wee bit research and knew to purchase a Dayticket at £3.50 and this would cover Lothian buses and trams, which we were travelling on later. It was a brilliant deal and we used it well. I'm glad I knew about it as the guy in behind the counter wasn't exactly a bag of fun. Oooft! Anyway we eventually found out what buses we could get, either a 25 or 34 takes you straight into the town centre. We didn't have long to wait as the buses are really frequent and we found the same later on in the evening, no problem getting back. The only thing which would be cool, would to have it closer to the Hermiston Gait Retail Park, that's a no go for park and ride, again I did my research. The bus route is a wee walk from retail park too. Apart from that, it's an excellent service and I would highly recommend as an alternative way to the Burgh.

No…read morematter which city you're in across the UK, you'll always find a big glass-fronted complex housing several bang-average restaurants, a cinema, some bars and usually a casino thrown in for good measure. They all look the same, and they're pretty soul-less and boring. But, they're also all in great locations slap bang in the city centre, and on days when it's raining and you know you fancy doing something in the evening, but aren't sure what, whether you like it or not these places generally tend to save the day. For starters, it's the closest big cinema to to the city centre, otherwise you'd have to trek out to Fountain Park or up to Ocean Terminal. And there's also no denying that Walkabout is about so cheap for drinks that it would almost be rude not to. Unless of course you've parked in the obligatory on-site multi-storey car park, that is. Just avoid it on weekend afternoons, when it's full of kids, or during the Fringe when it's full of tourists.

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.
