Hello, started a new thread about this, as I didn't want to take over the other, but I've just read your post asking if anyone knows H'burgh as you're coming up on holiday in August. I live in H'burgh so thought I'd post!
What sort of things do you like doing- walking/kids/food/museums/art etc? I'll post some recommendations, there is so much to do in around here, it's a good base.
Might not get the chance to check back until tomorrow but once I know what you're after I will reply!
xx
