A-Haven Townhouse for the B&B. (We took a pic of the sign, so I just looked in our photo album.:) The only problem was that it was a bit far out, so when we were out very late at an 11 pm show, the bus only took us partway back and we had to walk the rest. Not too far, maybe a mile, mile and a half? The breakfast room of the B&B was the only place I heard a real thick Scottish accent... to the point of recognizing that the other guest was speaking English, but only understanding about one word in eight or nine.

We rented bikes from a bike rental in Edinburgh, and that guy gave us the map and route to the castle. I don't remember the name of the castle. It was not too steep, indeed I remember a lot of rolling greenery. It was a day trip, with that hike up Arthur's Seat in there. There was a small village with a pub that we stopped at for lunch. It rained lightly on us, as it's wont to do in the middle of the day I understand.
