Edinburgh doesn’t reveal itself all at once. It hides behind the haar, the sea fog that rolls in and swallows its spires, and then slowly lets you in.
Walking down the Royal Mile, every close and stone stairway seems to whisper a story. They say the ghosts of Mary King’s Close still wander the streets buried beneath the city, that King Arthur once slept on the hill that bears his name, and that a little dog named Bobby guarded his master’s grave at Greyfriars for fourteen years.
Here history and legend share the same cobblestones, and you are never quite sure where one ends and the other begins.
Edinburgh is dark and poetic. Edinburgh is mysterious. Edinburgh is a fairytale written in stone.
