http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27466 The splendid Jupiter Artland, a contemporary sculpture garden in the grounds of Bonnington house, just outside the city.
An impressive selection of art work from some of Britain's biggest names - Andy Goldsworthy, Anthony Gormley, Anish Kapoor etc. When you need a break from exploring, treat yourself to tea and cake from the chrome vintage caravan cafe, and hang out with the peacock.
And if that's not enough to tempt you, did I mention the miniature donkeys?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27466 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27420 Enjoy!!!!!!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27420 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27419 Just across the cobbles on Nicholson Street is the no fuss boozer and free festival venue "The Pear Tree". Free live music on the outdoor stage, a comedy and cabaret venue upstairs, reasonably priced beer and a burger shack for the falafel-ed out, it's the perfect place to plan the day ahead or to share your triumphs and rasperries with other punters after a hard day's festival going.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27419 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27411 Visiting friends from London gave me the much-needed excuse to finally venture inside. Clarinda’s turned out to be a doilied heaven; cakes on display and a scent of baking in the air which reminded me of my native Norway’s old-time cafés and visiting my Grandmother’s house. The best Cream Tea north of the border made our experience complete.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27411 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27403 Try mussels marinere with fresh homemade breads or with frites, hot-smoked salmon in a crusty roll and oysters on ice with fresh lemon or tabasco. All washed down with cider or chamagne! Or you can sit at what feel like impromptu candlelit tables, taking in the atmosphere in the heart of the festivals greatest venue.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27403 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27398 55 Thistle Street Edinburgh, EH2 1DY

Their Full Scottish Breakfast - an essential experience when visiting Edinburgh - is almost definitely the finest in the city. Sandwiches and proper mains available too.
