Time Out" Edinburgh: Glasgow Lothian and Fife

With its underground caverns, ancient castle and imposing skyscape, Edinburgh has long been a city steeped in the past. Now, thanks in part to a cash and confidence injection from both devolution and slew of high profile media events, Scotland's capital has shimmied right into the modern age. This fourth edition of the Time Out Edinburgh Guide has been completely revised and updated. Local writers take you down the cobbled alleys of the Old Town, through ultra chic bars of the New Town and right out to the tranquil beaches of Gullane. The guide looks past the Athens of the North to explore Glasgow's edgy charms, road-tests the ever-popular distillery tours and offers tips on visiting the Highlands.
