We took the train, 45 minutes later we were in front of those gorgeous contemporaneous arquitectures, just like pictures, I loved them sooo much! Walking on the elegant streets brough me such a feeling as if I were born in the 15th century...The weather was chilling, cold, but not windy...between 1 and 0 degree...freezing! I bought 2 scarf with typical scottish design at only 12 pounds!
Edinburgh's famous castle is especially beautiful. Upon entering the city, it commands immediate attention. The eye of the visitor is drawn to the impressive structure rising high above everything else on its sheer granite cliffs. There are incredible panoramic views from the upper stories of the castle, including a clear view of the distant sea. The castle sits high on the huge rock formation that juts out as if in defiance of any who would seek to invade Edinburgh. Castle Rock, as it is known, is inaccessible on three sides, and has a long, descending ridge on the fourth side.

That bit in the middle sounds like a wikipedia/lonely planet excerpt !!
Hi Marlon
Glad you liked Edinburgh. Had you heard of walk talk tours? - the downloadable audio tours of Edinburgh, York, Manchester and London to play on your MP3 or iPod.
They are ideal for those flight stop overs when you don't have a lot of time but want to explore a little.
Take a look at www.walktalktour.com and see what you think.
