Welcome to Edinburgh!
I couldn't narrow down which photos to post here, so the following is a list of links to the unedited versions (unedited because there are so many!). I've attempted to order them geographically instead of chronologically, so if you see a large jump in the picture number that means I probably visited the place more than once.
Five days, four nights, and this is all I packed (clothes, toiletries/essentials, and snacks for the train):

The heart - walk around it because it's good luck to spit on it.

Statue of Hume - apparently good luck to rub his big toe.

High-tech security of the day = a trick step. Robbers in the dark wouldn't know which one to jump so they would trip, generally creating a lot of noise and making your job of throwing them back out on the street that much easier.
