ok , thinking then that 1 hour will not be enough to clear customs at heathrow and get to flight to edinburgh so we will be looking at tieing our flight directly to edinburgh ..international travel is so exhausting to plan. When I was in the military someone else always did it for me

Lol. Rick, we are still all one country so only one lot of customs wherever you land but you would be much better to fly to Glasgow and hop on a train to Edinburgh (is only a 50min train ride from Glasgow). I don't know if you can fly direct from the US to Edinburgh. I've only ever flown from Glasgow which is a bigger airport. A hotel on the Royal Mile would be absolutely perfect. You will be able to walk to most places and there are loads of tours on offer - you don't need to book before you arrive and may get a better price by waiting till you get here. It's a shame you'll miss the Fringe but, as you say, the hotel prices will be much better in September.

Definitely agree with Judith's suggestion. You can fly from Newark or JFK to Glasgow (Prestwick).

Customs depends on weather you need to come out of the terminal you land in, probably I would guess, but Heathrow is not that bad, you should try landing in Aus or NZ.

If you ever get to Glasgow and have some time to spare.... Portavadie Marina was built for workers building Oil Rigs and after spending 20 million pound it was moth balled, never to be used due to the currents in Loch that were to strong to float the rigs safely out!! Polphail, the ghost village at Portavadie, Argyll - Urban Glasgow

You need to check if there are any football matches as August is out of season. You might be able to catch a pre-season game.

The major teams in Glasgow for football are Rangers and Celtic. In Edinburgh, they are Hibs (Hibernian FC) and Hearts (Heart of Midlothian). Google their websites to see if there are any out of season matches organised for September.
