Nice trip - I just had some shorter rides on Virgin when I visited the UK, all our longer train rides have been on Scotrail (Class 156 trains are not really made for long journeys) or West Coast (Aberdeen - Edinburgh or London - Glasgow) which was nice in first.

IŽd like to recommand the
Dubh Prais Restaurant on High Street, which I visited three times now. A very small restaurant with (imo) a very good meal choice and service.
Or, near ArthurŽs Seat, the
Sailsbury Arms - a nice pub with good ales and good food choice.
Also, as a suggestion: If you would like to take a nice night train, why not user the Caledonian Sleeper (
Infos at seat61) from Edinburgh to London.
