To state the absolute obvious, Edinburgh is an OLD city with many tales to tell. Every block you pass through has seen its share of dramas, battles, and love stories dating back centuries. The same could be said about the rest of Scotland. And of course Europe.
Being from Canada, our own history is just a blip in time compared to the history that has existed here. I mean, you can't help but appreciate knowing some of Scotland's more "modern" buildings are as old as your own country.
I've never had a head for remembering historical battles and/or dates - a "history buff" I am not. But there is something to be said about walking streets, alleys and sweeping landscapes that embody so much life.
Any place will have a spirit about it. Scotland just so happens to walk among many.
