About Town: Edinburgh 2.0

I first visited Edinburgh in 2024. I spend the day exploring before coming down with Covid and relocating to Falkirk. In 2026, I spent a day (and evening) in Edinburgh before (and after) my 9-day Rabbies tour of the Highlands. I saw some of the same things and some different things.
