The Athens of the North

Even though I was born close by, the thrill when one walks from Waverly Station on to Princes Street never leaves. This time I brought two of my boys, aged 17 and 26, from NYC, though quite cool about big cities they were really impressed with the sights and sounds of Edinburgh. From the Royal Mile to the castle their jaws dropped at the sheer beauty of the City
