From the majestic Arthur's Seat to the sweeping Georgian crescents, Edinburgh is 'a dream in masonry and rock'. Actor and writer Alastair Mackenzie guides us around his favourite places in the Scottish capital
I am an American woman that had never been to Europe. In August 2015 I was honored to go and spend 9 days in Edinburgh. The Festival, the Military Tattoo, the castle! What a wonderful trip! I arrived there from Louisiana on my 66th birthday.
voice a little lower, hair a lot shorter. I wish he still had long hair like he did in Dragonworld! When I was a little girl, I was so smitted with him! LOL...
SOME of we southerners - especially those educated and long-time specialists in Scotland and all things Scottish - are mightily fed-up with you media junkies batting the Scottish wicket ad infinitum. Hypocrisy. Big-time. If you all adore Scotland that much, why the hell do you all make for London at the earliest opportunity? It's basically nostalgia-based. When I asked Billy Connolly if he'd ever move back to Scotland from Windsor, his response was 'Are you fuckin' jokin'?'. That says it all. Please stop it. It's very annoying, not to say, humiliating on your behalf.
