Edinburgh is the most desirable city to live in theUK. At least, according to a 2009 YouGov poll.Edinburgh came out top for its atmosphere andpositive reputation.We, the authors of this guide, can approve theseresults. “Auld Reekie” is indeed a wonderful place to visit.There’s the Castle, the Scott Monument, Arthur’sSeat ... yes, we talk about them, too. But beyondthose mainstream sights we leave the trampledtourist paths and try to create an alternative gui-de to Scotland’s capital.If you only have one or two days to stay our

itineraries will help you spend them efciently.

Edinburgh is a rather pricy town, in general. Butthe are spots which offer cheap food, clothing orother items. Your wallet will thank you for takingour advice. Then, of course, there’s the whisky.You can’t leave Scotland without having tasted thebest brands. Luckily, we have sorted out the thebad ones, so that you don’t have to.Finally, you’ll encounter people, attractions and

stories you won’t nd in any other tourist gui

-de. For Edinburgh in all its grandeur is yet to bediscovered.
