Edinburgh in mid-July?

It's my birthday on the 20th and my twin sister and I are celebrating our day in Dundee. Everyone have a lovely time at the Botanic gardens.

It's about a half hour walk from Waverley Station to the Botanic Gardens, or there are buses from the bridges.

Sounds good...if everyone is ok with that I am happy to do the booking.
I will already be in Edinburgh but the last time thatbags and myself got the train that arrived into Edin @ 11.50.

Its perfect for Minima (we've taken GCs there since only weeks old). Its the restaurant at the John Hope gateway. Can be accessed via the other entrance and a walk through the Botanics. Google it for menus etc.

Is it OK for Minima? Whereabouts in the gardens is it?

When does the train from the West get in? (I should know by now but I always forget)

Me
Jane10
Thatbags
Marelli
Dunit
Marmight
Minima

It depends what people want to eat. There are 2 self service cafes which can be very busy or there is a sit down waitress service restaurant. I prefer that one as the menu is varied and interesting, there are tables outside and there are loos etc but it depends on what people fancy. I think it would be safer to book.

How did lunch at B G go Jane10. Hope it was good, is it suitable for an onslaught of Grans? I presume we don't need to book anything. What time suits everyone?

Count me in!

20th fine for me, but will have minima with me, if okay with everyone.
Would love Botanic Gardens but have not got a clue where they are!
thatbags I will already be in Edinburgh but will be travelling back on the 17.09 if you wanted to hang on that long

We'll need to be crystal clear which gate/tearoom/cafe/restaurant we're meeting at too! There are 2 gates and 3 places to eat at (I think). I'm going for lunch there tomorrow so could do a recce?

How do you get to Botanics from Princes St, Elegran? I've been before, but a the time I was working at Inverleith, and it was just down the road a bit!

So on 20th thatbags, Jane10, Marelli & me and possibly Dunit ?

Now where?

What is the weather forecast like? If the 20th is going to be fair, we could go somewhere like the Botanics?

It looks as though it could be 20 degrees with a couple of morning showers.

And me!

Yep!

Yup! I sure am. Would depend on the day though. Dunits coming through on the 20th (I think)
