Trying to persuade my wife to go for a visit 🙂
Is that not the problem? On the pictures Edinburgh looks lovely but when you get there its smelly, dirty and really noisy. (I am generalising here) but I was passing through the other month and Princess street looks beautiful (Except for all the road works) but the actual experience of being there it felt like a dump, really noisy and smelly due to being in a concrete canyon. Beautiful buildings though. Must have been so rich at some point.

Just put Edinburgh in to google and click on images 🙂
don't think I have much of the centre - but google should get yo plenty.
Its a beautiful city, surprisingly green in parts and because of its topography you get unexpected vistas opening up as you turn corners. Interesting medieval parts and grand Georgian parts along with the usual dull suburbs

The old town is lovely, what's not to like?

Here you go, some of the lovely city center architecture. If this doesn't tempt your wife to visit I'm not sure what will:-

Love Edinburgh. My favorite uk city after London. Pictures don't do it justice.
