Is there parking in any of these streets in Edinburgh? Princes Street, Shandwich Place, Lothian Road, South Graothill Avenue, Waterfront Broadway, Nicholson Street

What I really want to know is if it is difficult to get parking spaces cos it might be easier to taxi around

not sure if you can park on any street in edinburgh. we stayed at an hotel sunday and were advised to park in the pay and display section. had to get out early to beat the blue meanies (council run parking gestapo) and yellow peril (traffic wardens) from placing a ticket on my windscreen.

Thank you Ali T. My car is already in secure parking at the hotel. I guess it'll be easier to taxi around. I've just noticed that Waterfront Broadway is a Morrisons so there will be parking, hopefully
