As you wander through the city, you’ll be pleased to find that this is a good place to shop, with good value to be found at many of the retail outlets. Edinburgh was built atop an extinct volcano on a North Sea inlet and is surrounded by lakes, forests and rolling hills. It’s truly a city better experienced by walking as you will pass through picturesque, cobbled streets of the Old Town and the elegant streets of New Town as well as lovely squares and crescents. From the battlements and other hilltops, you can take in stunning panoramic views. | |
