My impression of Edinburgh is that it's a city that's not as well off as Dublin. Looks more frayed around the edges, but still it's a great town. I'd love to spend more time here, but not going to happen this time.
Only down side to this trip is that my hotel has internet access that's out of the dark ages. It would cost me around €10 ($12.50) for an hour's access at 56k. Fortunately, I found a WiFi enabled hotel (Best Western) down the street where I can drink coffee and do what I have to do.
