Edinburgh

I found Edinburgh overdone; from the ancient, slightly uninteresting castle to the overly-ornate frontices of all the buildings (it’s bizarre seeing a dollar store with prime stonework on the front.) There’s not much to do there unless you’re into walking or seeing very old things, everything closes at 6PM, and the only thing to do after that seemed to be pub culture. I found the people aloof and slightly rude, and suffering from the slight arrogance that people who live in capital cities seem to possess. This city is not a good introduction to Scottish culture, and I really don’t recommend it be your first destination if you visit that country. There are some nice places around Edinburgh, but you have to look for them.

on a driving tour of Scotland. Would like to go back one day during Festival time.

I had a great memory in Edinburgh. This trip made myself familiar with the guy who come from Romania. We have kept in touch.

I just saw history channel special about Robert Louis Stevenson, and how his hometown Edinburgh affected Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Edinburgh seems like a fascinating place—especially the underground. The city is so old, and it has been rebuilt and added on to so many times. We don’t really have an equivalent here in the States. I really hope I get to see Edinburgh for myself someday!

I want to go to the Edinburgh Festival, the Fringe and visit the Castle.

I wasn’t too happy when I first moved here…..mainly because friends are all spread out in London, midlands and Glasgow….after 9 months I can honestly say edinburgh just amazing. is nto too big but has everything you need. the best place to live in the UK:)

Edinburgh is a city full of history.
