One thing about Edinburgh is that it is a city of hills. BIG hills. The main tourist street is a hill. It is a LONG hill. The street that goes down to the water is 3.4. miles long. It’s 3.4 miles back up.
Edinburgh castle is up on on a huge extinct volcano. It is a beautiful scene looking up there. Walking up there is not so fun.
On the first day we went to a jazz fair and walked up near the castle, went up a thousand steps(!) and walked down steps to where the event was.
It makes for beautiful views. You can look down the street and see the harbor in the distance. There are big hills and little hills. There are small steps of stairs and steep long sets of stairs.
Scots who live here must be in good cardiac shape or they avoid the hills altogether. Edinburgh is built on seven hills. Not for those with a weak constitution.
