The best formal Afternoon Tea in town - is in the Balmoral Hotel on the corner of Princes Street & North Bridge. Very elegant, with a musician playing gentle music from the minstrel's gallery above. Allow a couple of hours for this haven from the busy city.

Usually featuring exhibitions from the Royal collection; it is a small gallery but has some fabulous exhibitions. I love the staircase, crafted by an artisan woodworker from the Borders. If you buy a ticket for here, it remains valid for a year (named user on the ticket though).
