Something Christmassy to do today – Give blood today – Fruitmarket Gallery – Short Film Festival – Adult Education Programme
Today we recommend getting your skates on in Princes Street Gardens. Always good fun, even if you do fall over from time to time! The ice rink is beside Princes Street, and even if you don’t fancy having a go yourself then there is a bar overlooking the skating area where you can keep warm with a hot drink.
