We'll have 4-5 hours there. Any recommendations for some good spots for photo ops without travelling too far around the city? I can kill 4-5 hours in the city centre very easily (particularly as I haven't been there for 11 years), but I want it to be interesting for big'un, too.
If you haven't done plusbus, get a Lothian day ticket, as it'll give you bus and tram access.
Princes Street is decent, but quite hectic. You may be better going somewhere like the Gyle Centre or Ocean Terminal. Buses terminate both ends, and there's not a huge amount of footfall in comparison.
There's also the bus station. There's a wall on the exit, where you can get photos of stuff coming in and out. If you get the tram to York Street, it's a short walk back on yourself, and you'll get all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff coming in.
