What does 'El Al' in Edinburgh mean, anyway?
Et all basically means 'everything else'! There's plenty to do in Edinburgh that doesn't fit into the category of food, shopping, travel, festival, entertainment and businesses - so, we created this category to cover... well, whatever else we choose to cover!
