 Watery fun, various sports and relaxation |
92 Pilton Drive Edinburgh EH5 2HF United Kingdom +44 131 551 2400 |
This local eight lane, 25-metre swimming pool and leisure centre also has a spa and a baby pool. If you have children in tow, there is a creche for babies and toddlers, as well as a pulse centre to get you in shape and a multi-purpose sports hall. The list of sports items available is impressive: badminton, basketball, five-a-side football, gymnastics, judo, karate, table tennis, volleyball and netball. Once you've worked up an appetite and a thirst, there is a choice of visiting the equally welcoming cafe or bar, which both offer a good range of snacks and refreshments. Review © 2007, Wcities |

History, Sport and A Few Animals... |
Edinburgh EH12 5JE United Kingdom +44 (0)131 473 3800 (Tourist Information) |
Murrayfield is one of the popular places to visit while in Edinburgh. Edinburugh Castle, Scotland's top attraction as well as the enigmatic Edinburgh Zoo are all located in this area. The zoo has its own fun routine, and thousands of people visit each year to witness the daily walks of the resident penguins. If you're more of a sports fan, then make your way down to Murrayfield Stadium, Scotland's national rugby stadium and be sure to catch a game. Review © 2007, Wcities |
