Children’s activities in Edinburgh
I spent a wee bit of time on google today, trying to find out what to do in September with children-
Put in search terms like “things to do” Edinburgh September- and I didn’t get a nice simple site to show me- so I thought it would be useful to do a little research and find out what is happening month by month. And I am going to start this blog, this calendar of events in September since every one knows Edinburgh does all the festivals in August! We have mentioned children’s activities only as our accommodation is child-friendly- visit us at www.edinburgh-self-catering.org
(We have three bedrooms and can sleep six, and are close to the royal mile!)
September 2007:
Waterworld: This is the City's largest leisure pool where you and your family can venture onto the Flumes or Float through the River run, dodge the Water Cannons or play in the Waterfalls, feel the surf in the wave machine and, if that's all too much relax in the Lagoons or Spa pool. It’s about 0.9 miles from 27 Carlyle place

Scotland has its doors open policy in September 2007. Doors Open Days offer the chance to explore some of Scotland's most interesting buildings of every kind and age, all free of charge! At some you can enjoy a tour, live music or exhibition - or just look around at your own pace. Other sites offer special activities for children and young people. http://www.ehd.coe.int/sdx/jep/infos/infos.xsp?field=country&q=UKSC
