All I could say was "wow"
I came to Edinburgh from London by train and the first thing I saw when leaving Waverley Station was the silhouette of the dark and imposing medieval Old Town. The image was so spectacular, all I could say was "wow." Separated only by a street and located a little lower, the elegant 18th century New Town is very different than the old city. I knew the capital of Scotland was a cool city made for walking so I walked to the guest house we had booked in Canonmills, a neighborhood in the New Town. On my way there I passed dreamy parks, broad avenues and buildings with an elegant French air to them. 'Edinbra', as the Scots say, was darkening to the rhythm of my steps. After leaving my stuff in the little hotel, I walked a few blocks along the Dean River to another district of the New Town: Stockbridge.
