    Great that you enjoyed your visit and I hope you manage back soon to see the Hibees in action.

    Edinburgh at the festival time is brilliant. The city has a right cosmopolitan feel. Combine that with hibs at home and you will have a great time. The festival runs for the whole of August.

    Glad you had a great time pal, the city is very pretty i'd imagine your girlfriend was impressed?

    Now if you can just send a letter to Mancini, and tell him how good it would be for a few fringe players at eastlands to live and play in Leith, we'd be very thankful.

    If Sheikh Mansour is looking for a wee side project, please do feel free to pass on our warmest regards

    Glad you enjoyed your trip though. You don't have to go far to see some of the best sights in the world in the UK, something that is often forgotten.

    Edinburgh is alright. But Fife is where all the real landmarks are at.

    I agree i walk along Princes Street every day and the view along Arthur seat, the Royal Mile and the castle still takes my breath away, we all take it for granted

    Glad you enjoyed it mate, will get you tickets no problem and might ask you to sort out two for City v Liverpool in return

    11th August would be a good date to visit again. Festival and the derby!!

    Was down at a work conference at the City of Manchester stadium recently. Also very impressed!!

    Maybe meet u in the Champions League soon and get a home and away match.

    If only....

    Glad you enjoyed Auld Reekie mate - it is beautiful. I am sure tickets could be arranged for a Hibs game.

    I was at the Etihad in February (and the season before also) with my young lad (a Blue) and it is magnificent.

    He has his new home kit and Blues membership on order. It will be coupled with a new Hibs strip soon.

    Glad yous liked it. I dont live in Edinburgh any more but it's a great city to come home to.

    I agree the festival is always good time to visit, it's around the end of summer as well so coincides with the start of the SPL and also not too cold.

    There is a fireworks display from the castle at the end of the festival that is good to see. You can buy tickets for Princes Street gardens and you here the music as well but I've only ever watched it from the street, which is free.

    Edit: doubt you'll have to arrange tickets unless it's either a derby or you want hospitality, although in either case I suspect you'll still be ok. I'm not sure if you can still pay at the gate.

    Glad you enjoyed your visit, I've been in London for 32 years now so truly appreciate what a great city Edinburgh is. I was at Etihad 2 or 3 weeks ago to see Bruce, the rain was biblical!! Hope you make it up again soon, I have a season ticket & don't make too many games so PM me if you're going.

    Glad you enjoyed it pity the weather was so crap, great views up Arthur Seat eh!, played up there when I was a nipper. Try and bring some sunshine with you next time you and the missus come and a couple of half decent city players would be a bonus.

    My ex Aussie bird used to bug me about the fact there was a "Friggen Castle" in the middle of the City. Never really appreciated it until then.

    Glad you enjoyed the stay although frankly we weren't playing so no reason not to !

    Glad you enjoyed it mate. How did you manage to visit Auld Reekie with your missus and no mention going to IKEA. My bidie in assures me you have to go through there to get into the city.

    The only problem you would have getting a ticket is if you are not on Hibs tourist off putting database, but you can pay at the gate for most games apart from the Yams or Smeltic I would have thought.

    You thought Easter Road was impressive?

    You should have been with us at Cowdenbeath. Now that is a stadium!!!!!

    Makes me chuckle that our good Glasgow friends will be skulking about in these sort of places for a fair wee while

    Spot on. I was saying this to my sister the last time I was home - as a kid you just assume that all city centres look like that.

    Me and my mate were walking along Princes Street absolutely blitzed about 4AM last Sunday morning and had the same chat, we were mesmerised by the castle! We definately take it for granted

    Next time you come you may be privileged to travel by tram into the city centre.

    I wonder if they'll be hiring veteran broadcaster and couthy songster Bill Torrance to do a recorded commentary on the tram. The one he does on the airport bus is beyond hilarious.

    The bit where he says we are now heading for George St as the bus turns right down Sth Charlotte St to Princes St is good.

    It needs brought up to date to keep up with the ongoing chaos.....or maybe just turn it off and get the driver to shout out the route.
