Greentraveller's Top Tip: If you've some extra time before your train from Edinburgh why not enjoy a scrumptious meal of local and organic produce at Iglu Bar & Restaurant, centrally located and within walking distance from Waverley Train Station. We also recommend spending some time strolling through the picturesque Royal Botanical Gardens, one of the top green sights of the city.
