DESCRIPTION
Edinburgh, pronounced
Edin-"Burr"-uh,
is one of the most
beautiful cities in Europe. A wonderfully preserved medieval "old city"
that climbs the famous castle hill, and beneath that the "new city",
built in Georgian times. Princess Street and it's imposing gorge, View
this site for visitor
information about Edinburgh and Scotland. The
"closes" or multi level alleyways of the old city, the view of the city
and the dark blue waters of the Firth of Forth from the walls of the
castle, all are part of the balance between the old and new that
Edinburgh is famous for. The "auld reekie" (named by Robert Burns for
the persistent pallor of coal smoke that hung over the city) is
Scotland's most charming city
