| Despite the continuing excesses of the Planners, Edinburgh remains one of 
    the world's top cities for architecture.  It has everything from 
    medieval, the old town, neo-classical, the so-called New Town and Art Deco.  
    It even has a few decent modern buildings, although there are some truly 
    execrable bits of 1960's and 1970's stuff which rather spoil the overall 
    impression.  Of course, 
    there are also excellent museums and art galleries (mostly free) as well as 
    culture till it comes out of your ears during the annual International 
    Festival. The sort of city it would be 
    ideal to live in,  if only it were not so miserably cold for most of the year. |
