Edinburgh - Scotland's capital
The drama of Edinburgh
The capital# of Scotland is highly dramatic# in appearance. Take but on
e instance# from its most celebrated# throughfare. If you stroll# along
Princes Street on a clear# day and look up at the silhouette# of the a
ncient# castle on its rock# and the Old# Town stretched# against the so
uthern# sky, it is as if you were contemplating# a drop curtain on the
stage.# This is not the only theatrical# effect Edinburgh produces.# Bu
ilt upon hills,# and with hills behind, it has at its feet# the sea, in
the shape# of the Firth of Forth and, in a royal park near the centre,
# a great rocky# hill, Arthur's Seat, which in some eyes# might pass fo
r a mountain.# Everywhere in its streets you may come upon a corner# fr
om which you will catch unexpected# glimpses of sea or hills or remote
countryside. It is a superb# natural city site for building,# and man h
as done well by it.
