Not only is Edinburgh my hometown, but it is one of my favourite cities in the world. It's layered with history, romance, culture, and boasts some of the world’s finest architecture, cuisine and castles. Both the old and new towns are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and once you throw in some of urban Europe’s best scenery it’s easy to understand Edinburgh city tops so many polls. I especially love the free museums, the festival atmosphere and of course the whisky. During the summer festivals, the city welcomes over 4 million tourists with the Fringe Festival attracting over 500,000 tourists alone.
