The Peartree
38 W Nicolson StProbably the best place to have a beer on a sunny day!
This is a pub in a converted cinema. It’s beautiful inside, but prices of food and drink are reasonable as it’s part of a chain.

For some more serious walking, the Pentlands is the place to go. Take the number 4 bus and try the ‘Capital Views’ walk. You might even be lucky enough to see some highland cows.

Contactless on Buses
Edinburgh buses are really easy to use - just use any contactless card and you'll automatically only pay the price of a day ticket if you take enough journeys. You don't have to tell the driver where you're going as the price is always the same (except going to the airport). G00gle Maps and the Citymapper app can help you know where to catch them.
