愛丁堡，這個歷史悠久的城市，是我期待已久要探訪的地方。生活在香港大都市，出外旅遊一般也不會選擇到城市去，但是愛丁堡屬於例外。愛丁堡觀光點很集中，我們到的景點都能以步行方式完成。
Edinburgh is a place on my travel wish list for quite a long time. Living in Hong Kong a metropolis, generally we will not choose to travel to the cities, but Edinburgh is the exception. The attractions in Edinburgh are concentrated, almost all of those can be accomplished on foot.
以王子街為界線，向南是老城區，向北是新城區；一起被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產。老城區裡保留了許多歐洲中世紀建築，對文化保育規模龐大及重視，讓我們驚嘆。著名的愛丁堡城堡座落於山崖上，城市裡主幹道都沿著山脊修建。 最初愛丁堡是在其郊區的山上開始發展，後來慢慢開始向城堡石下方發展，成為了今天的愛丁堡。
The city is divided by Princes Street, south is the old city and to the north is the new city; both areas are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Old city retains many European medieval architecture, the conservation of cultural in such a large-scale let Ao sigh. Edinburgh Castle is the main attraction in the city which existing at the cliff, the city roads are built along the ridge. Edinburgh is first develop in the mountains, and then slowly expand downward the castle rock and eventually became today Edinburgh.
皇家一英里是老城區的主幹道，也是最繁忙的遊客區，長大約為一英里，連接了愛丁堡城堡，以及荷裡路德宮。發現在老城區內有許多古時保存下來的地下街道和地窖，想像在古時，人們和馬穿梭在這些夾窄小道中的畫面，很有趣。
The Royal Mile is the main road of the old town, grew up about one mile, connected Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The Royal Mile is a the most busiest tourist street, and many good shot are taken here. In the Old City area, we found many ancient streets and underground cellar, it is very interesting when you imagine that people and horse are walking along these paths in ancient times.
城市以外，有一些很容易到達的登山路徑，在高處細膩這個城市。蘇格蘭人，有些南方人說他們粗魯，但是在愛丁堡接觸的人中，我感覺他們是豪爽、熱情和友善 。
Outside the city, there are some hiking trails within easy reach, you can view the stunning city from the top.    People from the north sometimes project an impression as rude, but I felt that they are forthright, enthusiastic and friendly.
他們的生活節奏沒香港急速，生活寫意，黃昏時間，看見很多狗狗跟著主人到公園，或到山上跑，相信牠們的開心指數比起香港的，高出很多。這種慢節奏，有時候也很惱人的，當你到餐館用膳，已經很餓和需要趕時間跑景點的時候，你便會急死了。
People living in Edinburgh is quite relax I think, there is not fast pace as we are living in Hong Kong, may be they know how to enjoy life; we saw a lot of people leading their dogs to the park, or run into the mountains at evening, I believe they are happy; but this slow-paced, sometimes very annoying when you are hungry waiting for food in the restaurant, and need in a hurry.
騎自行車很普及，馬路上的車輛也很禮讓，騎自行車就好像是生活一部份，自然不過的事。每天，能在這些寬闊，沿途古典建築物的大街上騎車，很羨慕呀！
Cycling is very popular in Edinburgh, vehicles on the road is also very courteous, cycling is like a part of life and the natural thing to do. People riding every day in this beautiful city, classical buildings along the street ride, we are very envious of it!
這是我們在這裡3天留下的印象，離開愛丁堡，我們將會向高地進發。
Finish the first 3 days in Edinburgh, we go ahead to the Scottish Highlands.
