We were enchanted with Elizabeth's place, which is spacious and elegant and obviously very dear to her. Edinburgh is a lovely city and the locals are friendly and seem noticeably more peaceful than in some other places we have been ... The weather was indeed temperamental but the apartment is bright and airy when you need it to be, and secluded and cozy when you need it. A family with three children under the age of twelve, we were able to walk there quite easily from the train station when we arrived (albeit in the rain) and we also walked to Arthur's Seat, the Castle and National Gallery and all the other places we wanted to see over the three days we were there. We would have liked to stay longer. There is a useful file of information from Elizabeth, who is available and communicative, and plenty of reading material about the city and Scotland as well as other books, attractive delicate art pieces and furnishing, and access to the garden.
