Edinburgh, said the writer Robert Louis Stevenson,
is what Paris ought to be.
Its magnificent architecture shifts from the
lofty buildings of its medieval Old Town, as they tumble down
the spine of the Royal Mile, to the grace of the Georgian New
Town. Above it all, in its towering splendour, stands the Castle.
Every step is a revelation - an alleyway which
reveals an ancient courtyard, or a wynd which opens up a new panorama.
And yet within this sweeping elegance is a compact city, a bustling
city, above all a city which rewards every visitor.
I had never imagined that any city in these
islands could be at once so beautiful and fantastic
JB Priestley
