Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a schizophrenic and so am I
What would you guys recommend for a three day stay in Edinburgh? Is that enough time to see something outside of the city without constantly traveling? I'd like to see some Scottish landscape, maybe an old castle or two.

Would it be smart to rent a car, or is the train system pretty good outside the major cities?

While the city is very much centered on the sport, if you like golf in the slightest, St. Andrews is worth a couple hours. Probably as a result of being public, the place is surprisingly visitor friendly. You can rent some clubs and play a par 3 there for a very decent price so you can say that you played at St. Andrews. They don't give a poo poo if you wander up and down the Old Course so long as you don't bother the people who actually paid. Several people in my group walked onto the course in between groups and took pictures on the Bridge. Pretty sure some course stewards saw us and didn't say anything.

Edinburgh, yes, Arthur's Seat. It really is a pretty good hike though. I also think Scott Monument is a neat thing, but if you're at all claustrophobic maybe give it a skip.

I was at the Scott Monunent a few weeks ago. If you wear anything bigger then a men's US large shirt, you won't make it to the top.
