I'm off on my annual pilgrimage to Scotty Land tonight for the Open so I want some advice from you nice Scotty folk.

I'm staying in the centre of Edinburgh, playing Craigmillar Park on Thursday (by the Observatory) and would like some advice on the following : -

1. Recommendations for good pubs (Rose St? Old Town?)

2. Good places to eat - poss Curry or similar

3. What's the best brew to drink?

4. Anyone want to meet up with a southern DSCer for a beer on Thursday night? (actually I'm from Yorkshire originally but what the heck!) - I will have some real southerner's in tow though

Last year I stayed in Glasgie and travelled back 'n forth to Troon on the ScotRail Golf Special (good service). We stayed in the Glasgow Central Comfort Hotel - it was central but certainly not comfortable - - and on a cabbie's advice went for a Chinese which was crap

Hopefully you locals can point me in the right direction.

Thanks - in advance
