Visit a few shows on the Fringe or Edinburgh Festival in the late morning, there's something for everyone's taste. Just look at the flyers and programmes that litter the streets. From Princes Street, turn into Jenners for some excellent and authentic shopping, then walk down the Royal Mile, have a drink, and visit Harvey Nichols at St Andrew Sq. Continue on to Charlotte Square via the grandeur of George Street, to hop in at the Edinburgh Book Festival there - hear your favourite author read, buy some books, then grab a bus or taxi to Cramond. Sip iceteas and read books by the waterfront, overlooking the Forth bridges. In the late afternoon, return to the city and visit the Castle. When you're done, hang around to check out the Military Tattoo (it's fun even if you dislike marching bands and military), then stroll down to the Grassmarket and Cowgate to dance the night away. If that's not your thing though, walk up to the Royal Mile, visit St Giles Cathedral, walk further down to the Parliament and fly a kite at the foot of Arturs Seat.

Depends really what you're into. There's so much to do and see in Edinburgh. Mary King's Close is worth a visit, really spooky and interesting. Cockburn Street for the hippies and S & M shops, Princes Street Gardens for entertainment, Royal Yacht Brittanica in Leith (mind the wildlife tho !), The Royal Mile (loads to do there) etc etc
Enjoy

Go to the Dean Village and walk along the Water of Leith.
Visit the Royal Yacht Britannia.
Visit Cramond Village.
Climb Arthur's Seat (you'll have to be fit for that one).
Have a nice time.

Get a train to Glasgow as it is a much better city and the people are much friendlier.
