Also, as many people have said, Edinburgh is very nice but you could visit a city anywhere. It's not worth going all the way to Scotland for. If you do go, I'd recommend
Circus Lane - it's just a residential street but the buildings are really nice and there's a lot of plants and flowers there.
Prince's Street: main shopping area, also next to a big park. When I went there was a market outside where I bought some spicy sauce from Bonnie Sauce Co. - veery good and I buy more whenever I can. It's also a good hub for public transport
Cockburn Street - I think this is the sort of place Americans would call charming - it's kind of an old cobbled street, wiggles up a hill with lots of small shops and cafés on either side. Lots of Harry Potter stuff here if you're into that. I also think this is the street where there's a weird split level thing going on, where there's kind of a balcony street about four stories up overlooking the main street. (if you can't tell, it's a while since I've been here and my memory isn't great).
You're thinking of Victoria Street for both the HP stuff and the split level. Cockburn Street is similarly wiggly and does also have small shops and cafes plus a gallery or two :-)

Yep, so I was :)
Agree I wouldn't go for Edinburgh, but would not skip a day or two there on a wider trip
