Been there | Tips 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. Cramond Gallery Bistro http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16660
The stone built artisans cottage was once a cooperage for the long gone brewing pub next door. Lovely walks along the beaches and fields away from the Edinburgh crowds, but within walking distance of the city (four-five miles).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16660 Arthur's Seat, Holyrood park and Hutton's section http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13746
The views are amazing. Sturdy shoes are a must.

While there make sure you go on a pilgrimage to Hutton's section, the place where one of the great heroes of the enlightenment, geologist James Hutton, deduced in the 18th century that the world must in fact be millions of years old: "there is no vestige of a beginning nor prospect of an end".]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13746 The Water of Leith: a wonderful walk http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10451 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10451 Cramond http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7989
Its near the wonderful seaside promenade, with about 45 min if walked in full.

The path to Cramond Island is only walkable when the tide is out, so take some water with you in case you'll get trapped there with the tide rushing in.

Nice for doggies, kiddies and their owners as there is a big beach, too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7989 Calton Hill http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7933 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7933 Holyrood Park http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7900 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7900 Royal Mile http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7898 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7898 Mary King's Close http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7529 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7529 Arthur's Seat http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1584 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1584 Calton Hill http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1578 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1578 Lauriston Castle and Gardens http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7990
There is also a restaurant at the back of Lauriston Park called Lauriston Farm, which is run by Brewer's Fayre, so the meals are pretty low priced and the quality is OK, though the menu is a bit mainstream. Pub is quite child friendly, and has a nice beer garden and huge parking space.

It is also situated near the famous seaside promenade by Cramond, and near the community golf course. Lots of sheep and cows in the fields, too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7990
