A city I can't help but love.
its rich in history, arts and education and architecture, but its the Scottish atmosphere that draws me in. Really friendly people the Scots. its pretty expensive to live here, like most major cities, but for a weekend away, it will take your breath away. its small enough to get round in a weekend.
Set on a hill, ( and it has an extinct volcano) its also has a pretty mild climate for Scotland, considering it rains a lot in Scotland (as you can see from my photos we went in April.) its city is split into a new Georgian part, and an old medieval town. its like a fairytale when you wander the narrow streets, its like being back in a Charles Dickens novel.Below is a photo I took whist up un the hill in Edinburgh castle, looking down onto the city below. you can see Calton Hill( which looks like an acropolis ( the highest point in the photo) Calton Hill is Scotlands National Monument where soldiers and sailors are remembered for fighting in the napoleonic wars.
