"Surgeon’s Hall Museum Geared towards adults, older kids, and anyone with an interest in the medical field, this is a fascinating look into what can go wrong inside of our bodies.

History, Science and Culture at Edinburgh's Best Museums
"Set within the walls of historic Edinburgh Castle the National War Museum explores the history of Scotland at war. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Scottish Highlander was viewed with suspicion and fear by the British state and even by many lowland Scots. In time the image of the Highland soldier became a central icon of Scottish identity, and Scots enlisted in the Armed forces in huge numbers."

20 Best Restaurants in Edinburgh
"Loud and brash, with hip-hop and chatter filling the air, El Cartel is a fun taqueria, one that's exactly what the Edinburgh street-food scene needed. Lime-sucking locals and eager students pack in here for the hand-pressed tacos. The duck carnitas, with duck leg, pecan salsa, pineapple, and jalapeño, is a winner, as is the Baja cod, filled with ever-so-lightly battered fish."

"I’m not sure if El Cartel counts as particularly quirky, but it caught my eye and has some unusual bits and pieces on the menu if you fancy something Mexican with a twist. I’d also never ventured down Thistle Street in the New Town, so this excursion was a great excuse to go and explore. Anyway, my tacos had sweet potato, broccoli, almond sauce and sheep’s cheese."
