Iconic central vantage point in the city centre, in the summer hosts concerts and during the festival is the home of the Royal Military Tattoo. Costs to look around the vast internal workings but free to go into the esplanade (unless the tattoo is on).

More of a takeaway than a restaurant but lots of seating. If you can see past the paper plates and plastic cutlery this is one of the tastiest and cheapest ways to enjoy a large curry in Edinburgh.
