text: I do not understand how Alex R could have given this stars yes Alex I am calling you out Firstly I urge you to read his review as it is hilarious and it gives context to my reviewnnIn the context of Alex Rs review I am of the WALKING category on this bridge Occasionally waiting for a bus and sometimes cycling But mainly walkingnnAnd when it comes to walking on this bridge it is a total mare Despite the quite wide streets there are even more bus stops and it means that you often have to stop quite literally stop in your tracks and navigate around huge crowds of people Couple this with the Edinburgh Rain and the Edinburgh Wind and the fact it is a wide open space which makes it the perfect place for the Wind and Rain to meet in full force I never have fun walking over this bridgennThe only stars it gets are for the view Walking into the Old Town on your left you have Arthurs Seat and on your right you have all the amazing beautiful old building that date back almost years well Old Town itself does Oh but wait there are probably lots of people stopping to take photos of the beautifulness which further adds to the congestionnnRant over I do not really like crossing this bridge but it does do a pretty good job of connecting the Old and New Town so that is saying something
