The quote by Alexander McCall Smith

is exactly what this city is all about. The

place is truly a bliss and a dreamland. It

offers some picturesque street life and

rich heritages like Edinburgh Castle,

Royal Mile, Calton Hill, National Museum

of Scotland and many more. Most of

the structure in the old town is still

in its original medieval form with the

new town featuring Georgian terrace

architecture — a perfect blend of history

with modernisation. Small walkways,

passages, stairs and churchyards would

definitely raise your curiosity at every

corner. You will have a ball and will not

stop praising this city if you explore it on

foot!

Did you know that Edinburgh is the

world’s first UNESCO-declared city of

literature? Amazing fact isn’t it? Sir

Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of my

favourite character Sherlock Holmes,

was from Edinburgh.

This jewel offers some year-round

festivals, paid and free attractions, some

amazing restaurants and shopping

opportunities from vintage to modern

arts, crafts, clothing and what not. If you

are looking for a happening time under

a culturally rich land, Edinburgh is your

place!

Lands of Scotland

Scottish land can be divided into three

areas — lowlands, highlands and

islands. The more you travel towards

the north, heaven starts opening its

doors. The Lowlands are rich in castles

and grasslands, which are agriculturally

productive, and almost 80 percent of

the population lives in this region of

Scotland.
