I can assure you that although we had a dry summer in Edinburgh it was not
HOT. Our East wind helps up keep our cool. You cannot beat the Mount Royal
for location but there have been complaints about the noise caused by all
night busses stopping out side. I would steer clear of the Cowgate location
of the Tailors Hall as it is near a hostel for street people and you will be
stumbling over drunks or be accosted by them.
