We have tried to give you a small taste of Edinburgh with these few pictures, but can only touch on what is available in this wonderful city.
The old town and its Royal Mile stretching from the Castle to Holyrood Palace is steeped in history. The New Town with its Georgian squares
and parks at 300 years old is perhaps no longer new! Museums, Botanic Garden, hills and crags all combine to make this the "Athens of the North".
