So, are there areas in Edinburgh unsafe after dark for an englishman. Don't fancy getting into some kind of hostage situation :)

You'll be fine, particularly anywhere central. Glasgow may be more tricky, but so far I am alive still. Carry a tripod and nobody will do anything to you.

Did I say areas of Edinburgh were unsafe after dark or any other time ?
Perhaps your feeble attempts at trolling would be better served elsewhere.

Honestly mate, you don't see the humour in my post. Do you think I would be going for a weekend to Edinburgh if I didn't feel safe. Jeez man lighten up.

Its no more dangerous than say Basra , or Kabul , I'm sure you'll be fine. As Edinburgh is largely a tourist economy its best to ensure that everyone knows you are a tourist, this is best achieved by walking down the middle of the road wearing an england football shirt, waving a cross of St George flag , and a swigging from a can of special brew , whilst singing the National Anthem including the second verse* to let the natives no you arent to be triffled with.

You should also take some bolts of cloth and some coloured beads to bargain wih hostile natives , and when someone approaches you and starts talking in the native toungue you should reply loudly and slowly as if talking to an imbecile (as this has been proven by generatiomns of foreign travelers to enable foreigners to understand english)

(for the hard of thinking this advice is intened as humour and i take no responsibility if it is actually followed)

*Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save The King.
