Edinburgh has a vibrant gay community. The Edinburgh gay scene is centered in the so-called Pink Triangle- Edinburgh's gay life is centered largely around the New Town's Broughton Street, although not exclusively. Edinburgh's gay scene has much to offer all year-round.

Edinburgh has a great gay scene, but nobody comes to Edinburgh just for gay sex alone - there's too much else. Sixth century Edinburgh Castle, on a 250-foot rock in the centre of the city, dominates everything. If that's not enough, August's Edinburgh International Festival, the biggest arts and drama festival in the world covers theatre, music, dance, painting, photography, sculpture, and more. Simultaneously there is The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Edinburgh Film Festival and The Edinburgh Book Festival.

Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh Festival, Edinburgh International Conference Center, Edinburgh Airport, Royal Yacht Britannia, Royal Mile, Edinburgh Zoo, Scottish Parliament, Royal Scottish Academy and Gallery of Modern Art, Royal Scottish Museum, Princes Street Shopping.

If you're into art, summer is the time to come, but if so, book your bed well in advance, or perhaps you will find yourself in a sleeping bag in an Edinburgh park! If you come to Edinburgh by train, coach, or the bus from Edinburgh Airport, you will arrive on the Waverly Bridge near the Edinburgh Tourist Information Centre at the east end of Princes Street.

Car parking in Edinburgh is expensive, and Edinburgh's gay scene is spread out, so it's worth getting bus timetables and bus passes which are good value from Lothian Region Transport at 14 Queen Street, Edinburgh or from the Ticket Centre at 31 Waverley Bridge, Edinburgh.
