My dad was from Edinburgh too. Really want to spend more time there and go hiking in Arrochar as well.

I realise that these pictures have been selected for picturesqueness, but the aerial views also give the same impression: that of a city in which an unusual amount of ancient architecture has been preserved.
I suppose that this is a tribute to Scottish frugality. Repair and refurbish rather than demolish. As a member of the [US] National Trust for Historic Preservation, I heartily approve.
What a beautiful city ! It seemed to me that , in several photographs, I saw the Sir Walter Scott monument, though it was never mentioned. Am I right ?

"Edinburgh has more listed buildings than anywhere in Britain. Over 4,500 listed buildings within the city. A total of 40 conservation areas covering 23%of the building stock and 23% of the population, the highest ratio of any major city in the UK."
Why I love the place.
That Waverley Train station is being done up. The steps up to balmoral hotel are under a glass roof. It looks nice. It's not so cold now.
