Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a city that just begs to be explored. From the vaults and wynds that riddle the
Old Town to the Georgian elegance of the New Town, it's filled with quirky, come-hither
nooks that tempt you to walk just a little bit further. And every corner turned reveals sud-
den views and unexpected vistas - green, sunlit hills; a glimpse of rust-red crags; a blue
flash of distant sea.
But there's more to Edinburgh than sightseeing - there are top shops, world-class restaur-
ants and a bacchanalia of bars to enjoy. This is a city of pub crawls and impromptu music
sessions; mad-for-it clubbing and all-night parties; overindulgence, late nights and wander-
ing home through cobbled streets at dawn.
All these superlatives come together in August at festival time, when it seems as if half the
world descends on Edinburgh for one enormous party. If you can possibly manage it, join
in.
