Retired solicitor Ken Swinton has assiduously researched the history and life stories of the owners of an Edinburgh New Town crescent to produce a fascinating picture of life in late Georgian Edinburgh. Ken, the editor of Scottish Law Gazette, and his wife bought an apartment in St Bernard’s Crescent, in Stockbridge in 2016 and split their time between Edinburgh and their principal home in Broughty Ferry. That purchase provided the impetus to research who had lived in the elegant townhouses which were built two centuries ago according to designs approved by the well-known portrait painter, Sir Henry Raeburn. The result of his research was the publication of a History of St Bernard’s Crescent last year which includes over 100 biographies of some of the more celebrated residents. ————— Graham Ogilvy is a journalist, author and publisher.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

today is

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because of the great weather. It takes two to three hours to walk around, and it will be faster if you walk quickly. After entering, you can use the voucher number provided by Ctrip to exchange for a paper ticket. You can rent an interpreter for 3.5 pounds and enter the corresponding number of the attraction to listen.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

It&#39;s really not one of the most romantic sunsets. I&#39;ve been here, cold shock but beautiful shock! Multiple celebrity business cards will not be repeated one by one. But my only deepest experience is the lyric, &quot;The castle is keeping secrets for love, and I am keeping memories for you&quot; I didn&#39;t think the song was romantic until I climbed to the top of Carlton ⛰️ It was really speechless and beautiful! ! I really like this light blue gentle dusk ～～ Thanks for a little embers near sunset that day, let me see the light blue light orange sky boundary in the distance, really the ultimate romance ～～ constantly touching me ✨💕🌹 recommend this ultimate romantic, must go? [View] Medieval dusk 🌆, the only ❤️ in the world
