I can recommend a great little B&B that is a 20 minute brisk walk to the start. Kew House (www.kewhouse.com) is where my husband and I stayed when he ran Edinburgh in 2009. You don't need to rely on transport (which is netoriously bad on marathon day in Edinburgh - be warned!) and the walk is a nice warm-up. It's very reasonable rates and the owners are lovely people who will also drop a cold breakfast by your room for the early start. If you want closer you will have to pay more, but I recommend the Hilton Caledonian. Is expensive though and I still preferred Kew House. Good luck and enjoy running in a lovely city!
