I live just outside Edinburgh and I love it
The city is close enough to get in and out of, but it's not too close. I used to live in a flat in town which was just crap. No space, noisy neighbours, shite parking - hellish.

I'm 20 mins from town and got a great house, own driveway etc, and really great neighbours.

Only downside is the shit weather. If we could relocate the whole place a few hundred miles south it'd be great.

My wife's family live on Heriot's Row.
I have said that if we did move I would not want to be as central as that.

Nice part of town though!
I suppose if you want to live centrally, and could afford it, it'd be as good as anywhere.

Centre of town is not ideal for kids though.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Tue 15 Nov 2011, 10:16, Reply)

Yep that's why I wouldn't want to be that central.

Depends on what your budget is
Places like Morningside, Corstorphine, Balerno etc are excellent places (out of my price range obviously) with good schools.

The first thing is to get our current place valued, then we'll have an idea of budget.

Behave yourself
London is a soul-less shithole full of dead-eyed drones.

Not bad, nice and sunny
Had a bit of drama in the last couple of days but it seems to be sorted now, and a nice meal with family to look forward to tomorrow, so all good.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 15 Nov 2011, 10:43, Reply)

Glad to hear it
Hope the drama keeps itself in the theatre in future. Have seen War Horse? Oooh it's good
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 15 Nov 2011, 10:45, Reply)

Fingers crossed.
I have not, I had thought it was not my thing but May give it a go if the opportunity presents.

It won't surprise you to learn that I've seen much more in the way of musical theatre. That said, The Woman In Black was superb. Scared me silly.
