Edinburgh, its not said how its spelt

So I've been to Edinburgh quite a few times over the last few weeks for sightseeing, work and a variety of other dastardly deeds. It intrigues me because its so old and cranky with a really strange design whereby all invaders are directed through narrow streets into the forefront of the castle so they can be shot with bows and arrows.

This of course caused me no problems as my germ warfare tactics avoided all the narrow alleys by being delivered by aeroplanes directly from the Belgian Congo (Mexico). So really what's it like, amazing geography, cool bars and a nifty history make Edinburgh a fun day. There is the new parliament house which was meant to cost 30 million but ended up costing 200 million odd pounds. So it was kind of impressive but a lot people don't like it because its too modern and doesn't fit in with the Scottish heritage of everything being a pub. Just nearby is holyrood house and there's a sense that everything is in walking distance from the centre of town.

The new town (only a couple of hundred years old) offers a welcome diversion from the old town (quite a few centuries old) and just nearby is the seaside at Leith, which from my understanding is mainly filled with warehouses, druggies and expensive restaurants. The old town has the castle and a selection of churches and whisky bars the likes of which you'll struggle to find anywhere else. The whisky experience tour was fun, but probably not quite worth the 11 quid entry fee although you do get a whisky shot and a glass to take away. So now that I know that its all there, I'll be back for more summer festivals, music and all kinds of crazy stuff that can only be had on the far side of the world. My invading army has been slowly spreading across the city and soon the whole place will be mine to run amock with down the royal mile while dancing a jig to the bagpipes in the centre of town. Currently bagpipes in full volume are banned in central Edinburgh because they were too loud and annoying. I'll soon be changing that!!!
