Whoot

Accommodations are booked for our trip. We'll be at this place in London http://www.hotellondon.co.uk/ for a few days (thanks to the Di's for the tip). Its not fancy, but is cheap, and will serve its purpose. In Scotland, since we won't be able to stay for too long we'll base our center of operations (heh) in Edinburgh. We'll be staying here http://www.turret.clara.net/ thanks to the tip from Righinnbear (a friend of a LJ friend) which was reported by many as the best B&B they've stayed at in the UK, and was recommended by Rick Steve. We'll check in on the night of our 6th anniversary (awwww) so hopefully we'll find something special to do for dinner that night nearby (the B&B is about a mile from the downtown area).

I think we've resolved the petsitter thing (Jen, we need to have you for/take you to dinner to chat about it). Next, we'll be figuring out getting from London to Edinburgh and then the fun stuff - planning activities with all of the books you nice people have leant/bought us! :)

Anyone know of a good goth, metal or new-wave club in London that's not uber-exclusive that we'll need to know someone cool to get into? We'll have the weekend there and I'm looking forward to checking out some of the night life. :)

Turret House

I'm glad that I could help. We were in Room 2 at Turret House. They knew that it was our honeymoon, so the bed had a pair of teddy bears in wedding attire sitting on it when we walked in to the room.

As for getting around, the bus picks up and drops off about 1 block from the House. There are some excellent restaurants in Edinburgh. I'll try to find the place that we had dinner for our 6 month-iversary. It was underground and small. The prawns were incredible.

Personal opinion - skip the tour of Mary King's Close. Interesting story, not so good tour and effects.
