Go on a trip to the Isle of Arran, of course!.

Go to Auchenharvie Leisure Centre (http://www.naleisure.co.u...), where you can go ice skating on the UK's only double decker ice rink or you can go swimming in the olympic sized swimming pool. Catch the number 11 or 585 buses from Princes Street.

Go for a walk around the Holm Plantation area, it is a wonderful alternative to South Beach and there is plenty of grassland for recreation.

Go bowling at the Bowling club just off South Beach. Disclaimer - this is not a wise choice for the under 60s.
