Edinburgh

A city of layers and levels. The castle dominates the centre and a climb up Arthur’s Seat gives you a spectacular view of the whole city, the firth of Forth and the coastline running in both directions. There are crypts to explore on ghost tours and pubs and restaurants built into steep flights of steps. Visit in August when the city is hoachin’ with Fringe festival visitors, or at Hogmanay for bagpipes and fireworks.
