... And more! Edinburgh is a beautiful city to explore on foot, because the city is built on a series of rocky hills, the perspective is constantly changing. From the tops you look out over the sea, or over the Firth of Forth to Fife. Often a church or monument will frame the view. As Robert Louis Stevenson wrote it is 'a dream in masonry and living rock'.
