The city of Edinburgh

A review on Edinburgh Restaurants

arthurContinuing of our UK city guide, today we are going to have a look at restaurants in the city of Edinburgh in Scotland; there really is something for all tastes in this great city, I don’t think there will be a cuisine that has not got a dedicated restaurant in its honor.

There is an abundance of restaurants that serve stylish Scottish cuisine that is cooked with fresh local produce, one thing you will notice in Edinburgh is that the competition is so completive that the chefs and restaurants not only cook good food but they also cook and serve with flair.

This list is just some of the more popular dishes that get dished up in one of Edinburgh’s impressive list of restaurants, with a choice of French restaurants, Italian cooking, Spanish tapas, Scottish cuisine, spicy Indian dishes and Cantonese you won’t be disappointed when visiting Scotland’s capital.

An interesting travel story came to light this month, the importance of which seemed to get lost amongst news of the continuing economic problems.

Essentially, the UK government is compiling a massive database of all travel journeys taken from the UK. What this means is that each and every trip made from Britain by you and is going to be stored on computer records. That’s around 25 million flights, holidays, ferry and rail journeys over the next 10 years. The level of detail is where we got slightly worried – names, addresses, telephone numbers, seat reservations, itineraries and credit card details are all trackable elements. The UK government claim that this database is essential in order to effectively fight against illegal immigration, crime and terrorism. We would be slightly more confident if we we sure that this data is going to be completely secure and used for these noble purposes. We’ll be interested to see hope this story develops.
