There are rich areas and dirtier, poorer areas in Edinburgh.
Leith is in the north of Edinburgh, by the sea. Many years ago Leith was busy. Lots of boats came in and out every day.
These days there were few boats and many of the old buildings were now flats for the young people of Edinburgh.
Princes Street is in the north of Edinburgh Castle. Princes Street is unusual for the main street of a large city. These are shops on only one side of the street. The Princes Street Gardens are on the other side. In the summer the gardens are full of people sitting in the sun.

Michie,
ReplyDeleteEdinburgh can be a beautiful place when the weather is nice...lots of peaceful parks with monuments everywhere - the castle dominates the skyline wherever you are.
I saw the Military Tattoo there when I was a nipper with my brother. It was an awesome experience which neither of us have ever forgotten!
My grandfather loved Princes Street because of the Golden Mile - a mile of pubs lining the street on either side!
