The ghost tour with City of the Dead is alright for something a bit different.

I don't get why so many people recommend the three sisters? It's always so rammed at the weekend that you literally cannot get moving!

Three Sisters is good for one thing, and that's £1.50 jaegerbombs. And stay away from a place that promises burlesque dancers, because there are none

Go to Haymarket train station and get on a train to Glasgow would be my recommendation.

I wouldn't go near a place called Opium unless you're wearing a long black leather coat, have jet black hair and wear mascara. They refused Nath, JonnyJ and I because, and I quote "I don't think this is your sort of place, lads". He has no idea what I listen to, let alone JJ's love of BMTH
