Mad Edinburgh

[Peter Lowe]

Yes as someone who lives close to Edinburgh and "comes into town" very regularly I understand what has been said. There are still many things to see and do that make visiting a great experience. The trouble is that the business rates (essentially a charge for occupying the buildings) in central Edinburgh have been used as a "cash cow" by the town thus chasing the quality out from the centre. Also the "shopping experience" has changed and the customer wants something different.

Princes Street is still great but I remember it as it was. Then words could not describe it's magnificence. Nevertheless it is still a great place to visit.

Maybe I have not moved with the times!
