As Edinburgh recovers from the big storm in January – winds reached in excess of 100 mph – and our roof tiles get replaced – hope it is nice and mild wherever you are, and that this year proves to be a good one.
Perhaps, having been inspired by a glimpse of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations, which include the wonderful Torchlight Procession, on TV, you may want to stay next year! Our 2011/12 Hogmanay guests from the US, England and Germany certainly seemed to have had a ball.
Return Guests
Philip and I took a quick glance at our records of guests already booked for 2012 – we were delighted to see that almost 40% of bookings, so far, for this year, are return visitors to Pilrig House. We hope this paints a reassuring picture for you – we find it very rewarding.
Listening to Our Visitors
In 2011, one or two Australian guests mentioned that, as they do not experience the seasons of autumn or winter (as we know it!), they would love to see photos on our website of Pilrig House and Edinburgh in all seasons. I got out there with my camera in 2011, and our website desginer is in the process of adding the new pics to our Guestbook page. Hope you like them.

Planning Your Visit
Many guests email and ask us what we think they should do when they visit. Time Out offers ’20 Great Things To Do In Edinburgh’, which you may like to peruse.
You can look at events and festivals that are on during the month you will be visiting. For example, for guests visiting in January, tickets for a Burns Supper celebration may appeal.
The ‘Whiski Bar and Restaurant’ on The Royal Mile has live Scottish music 7 nights a week.
Summer Bookings
We are taking bookings for the summer months, so, do get booked up now if you are planning a stay! We still have availability for the month of August when Edinburgh’s Interntaional Festival will explode into life once more. The Edinburgh Military Tattoo is held in August and tickets are now on sale – they sell out very quickly every year, so we do advise that you prebook your tickets now!
You can check out our availability and rates on our website – we always keep them bang up to date.
Till next time,
Debbie
