Visible to anyone in the world

I will never willingly leave Edinburgh again in my allotted span. The only thing that might tempt me to leave is the coming home. I’ve walked, car-red, flown, boated and, best of all, trained into my city. It has always been fantastic. There’s something about the way that Edinburgh works that will cosh your head as you enter it. Either you get that strange-straight division of town and country, or you are in town looking at something geological or you walk up so-so-many stairs to appear in a place that Disney would love to copyright.

It is a very beautiful city Nellie smile.  I've only been there three times - one to do a poster presentation for an OU module, and twice to do runs.  Running around Arthur's seat was a killer.  You're lucky to live in such a great place.

Its a beautiful city but currently looks like Beirut as the white elephant known as the Tram project has ruined the centre of the city and it's not going to be ready for at least another two years.

Totally unnecessary as all it will do is transport the business community from Edinburgh Airport to the centre of town a function which is already performed by the 100 bus service.

Given that the railway line also passes Edinburgh why oh why didn't they just build a railway station next to the airport.

Sorry rant over but I'm really peed off with how the tram fiasco has ruined this city.
