Edinburgh & North Berwick

If you've ever been to The Argyle at The Rocks, Sydney then imagine the entire CDB with dimmed lights, cobble stones, and stone walls. On arrival of this city, all of us were pretty much amazed and intrigued by the dark streets, alleyways and tall stone buildings. It seemed that every building and corner had its own haunted tale.

We spent two days in Scotland, one in Edinburgh and a day trip out to North Berwick, a coastal town a hour and a half away.

The difference between the two would most likely be the weather. Edinburgh - rainy, cloudy and cold accommodated the architecture of gargoyles, churches and the castle. North Berwick - windy, sunny and hues of blue and yellow with the picturesque landscape of the sea. To me it felt like a retirement village, so relaxed and peaceful.

Every single time you visit a city you like, you wish you stayed longer. The contrast between the two towns visited made it more reason to go back and see what the rest of Scotland has to offer. It's a very interesting place with a very different English history. I loved it.
