They also have picnic baskets you can order for pickup or enjoy a coffee and picnic goods from the kiosk at the observatory.

The buses are excellent - fast, reliable, easy to navigate
Edinburgh is super walkable you can walk almost anywhere in under 30 min although the public transport is excellent.
You can pay for a SINGLEticket (£1.80) and DAYticket (£4.50) when you get on the bus. Just tell the driver what ticket you want and you can pay by cash (exact change) or contactless card.

Bring waterproof clothing and dress in layers
The weather changes quickly here - always carry an umbrella with you and a sweater (even it is warm and sunny when you leave the house). In winter waterproof shoes and jacket are must (waterproof trousers are also helpful).
