Hey, you don't have to be young and drinking too much, it gets worse as you age. I nearly got in trouble many times before I discovered where some were hidden. In Oz we have little blue signs on lamp posts all over the place pointing to toilets which is vital for visitors. Very few toilets are manned in Oz and we don't have turnstyles requiring up to 50p for a pee either! I got adept at vaulting these turnstyles when I did not have the right money! In my last visit we stood in line for over an hour and right after our evening meal before the long parade up the Royal Mile during The Gathering. No loos were available for the 1000's who marched then the lousy few at the tattoo ground which took 40 minutes for my wife to access! I warned as many as I could of the situation prior. I spotted a portable toilet with door wedged hard against a tree near the start which was obviously not meant to be used, but, with a few others helping, I manhandled it and got it functional which pleased a great many people judging by the long queue which formed! Education on basic tourist needs is badly needed there. I suspect some spend almost as much time looking for toilets in Edinburgh as they do shopping for a kilt!
