EDINBURGH CITY
The historic centre of Edinburgh is divided into two by the
broad green swath of Princes Street Gardens. To the south the
view is dominated by Edinburgh Castle, perched atop the extinct
volcanic crag, and the long sweep of the Old Town trailing after
it along the ridge. To the north lies Princes Street and the
New Town. The gardens were begun in 1816 on bogland which had
once been the Nor Loch.
