Whilst I dislike Edinburgh we have a free trip there and it would be churlish not to use it whilst staying elsewhere in Bonny Scotland.
So is there a long term carpark that we can park the car that won't cost us the earth also can anyone recommend a good tour of the underground streets whilst there as I have done the Castle and red bus before.

Good Morning Early Birds!

From personal experience I recommend this option for the non-driver in the party who can obviously take care of the four spare whiskies of their companion as well.
Thought the limited time offer of Islay cheese might interest too. :-)

It's worth bearing in mind that our alcohol limit for driving here is consideraby lower than the rest of the UK, to save us from ourselves, obviously.

Doug has a whisky hater - I am well used to being the driver when in Scotland - sure when we go to Islay I am the full time taxi driver!!
Murray - I find Edinburgh too English and visited with the grandparents on many occasion as a child and listened to them complaining about it - so I suppose its rubbed off.
I visited the zoo about 10 years ago and had a blast but we did Edinburgh centre the following day and it chucked it down - which lol did not help the mood!

How can anyone dislike Edinburgh?

I absolutely love Edinburgh, it's my second favourite UK city. Not any help to you, I know.
I'd live there quite happily, unless they leave the UK, then I wouldn't.

Enjoy your trip.
