It depends on whether you have access to a car. I birded the Firth of Forth area just by taking a city bus from Edinburgh and also found interesting things in the Princess Street Gardens (but that was over twenty years ago). If you are more independently mobile than I was, try to get a copy of Birdwatching in Britain by Nigel Redman and Simon Harrap. It gives several places in the Edinburgh area and includes maps and other details. If you can't find a copy and are interested, e-mail me directly and I'll photocopy the relevant information for you.
