Edinburgh is small, steep and packed in August, when prices climb and the Old Town fills. New Town and Stockbridge for calm streets and good cafés, Old Town for the castle and the closes, Leith for the water and the restaurants. The otter shows the real total for your dates and the walk to wherever you're headed.

How does the otter choose where to stay in Edinburgh?
