I worked the summer of 2002 in a HI hostel in the West End of Edinburgh. What can I say, but rain, rain, rain. It did manage to be sunny about half the time when it reached August. Ahh. Sweet sun.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Festival festival festival
  • Cons:Dreary
  • In a nutshell:To die for when it's sunny.

    Edinburgh is one of my favorite cities. It seems impossible that it has been 13 years since I was there. Thanks for the memories ...Tom

    Oh wow! Lovely page. I went to Edinburgh once (only for four days) and was very fortunate to have four lovely sunny days. I have yet to see another city with more character and charm. I really envy you for having lived there.
