@Scott Fraser Maybe so. People are friendly at school. You see lots of squirrels hanging around students asking for food. Occasionally, there are turkeys walking around campus and every once in a while you'll see some wolves walking around as if lost. I saw a skunk once at night. The only negative I can see is that you can't walk anywhere from the school since it is isolated. You have to drive or take a bus to the nearest store.

A little personal hint : Cramond village at the Firth of Forth. Northwest of the city (can be reached by bus) . A few houses, a small harbour, nice views, ideal for a walk. It seems as if you are very far away from the big city. The more adventurous can walk to Cramond Island by low tide. Just get back before the high tide comes in.

Apart from the fact that everywhere we went was "up" and our feet were making nerve noise, it is hard to express the love we felt for this place, this city. Everything was well done for visitors, and was beautiful. Well, the parliament building was....hmm...loss of words on that one, but everything else was a boon to one's soul. If only we could live there!

The Scots are some of the most witty and friendly people I have ever had the plesure of meeting. Thinking a revisit should be comming up post COVID, especially as I have now learned to appeciate whisky, something I had'nt when I lived there and which was greatly frowned upon then. I should like to go during The Fringe Festival. The family I stayed with fled the city during Fringe, so I feel like I missed out.

My trip to England and Scotland, back in 05, was the highlight of my life. An ancestor supposedly save Robert the Bruce back in 1321 I believe. Don't quote me on that. When I toured the Castle, it brought some of my heritage to me so clearly. We were told not to take pictures in the war memorial, but I got one in about some of my ancestors. My family has fought for Scotland even before we were Turnbull's. We were known as Rhule, from the Rulewater district on the border.

I'm an American; Edinburgh is my favorite city in Britain. I think the Scots got a raw deal when they were threatened with removal from the European Union if they voted for independence from England; then after it narrowly failed, England (and therefore Britain) voted for Brexit. It's only a matter of time before Scotland gains independence and joins the E.U.
