Edinburgh is an experience A city of enormous gifts Whose streets sing of history Whose cobbles tell tales.
Alan Bold
Image
Edinburgh used to be a haughty city.
Alexander McCall Smith
Image
I love Chatsworth, Winchester Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle... Every time I'm in the vicinity of something old and worth looking at, I try to go. You don't even have to leave your home town to see some places. How many Londoners have seen the crown jewels? Not many, and they'll blow you away, I promise.

[Edinburgh] is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.
Alexander McCall Smith

During my second year at Edinburgh [1826-27] I attended Jameson's lectures on Geology and Zoology, but they were incredible dull. The sole effect they produced on me was the determination never as long as I lived to read a book on Geology.

Even though one of them is about an Edinburgh junkie and ones a little boy of eight in Manchester, you want them to always portray their world in such a vivid way that the audience can disappear inside the story.

It was here in Edinburgh that in the 1980s I joined with many others to protest against Margaret Thatcher as she arrived to address the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

I never realised that the Edinburgh skyline was so interesting - it's gothic and very urban and there's a lot of church spires and old brownstone buildings.
Jamie Bell

It has been said that a Scotchman has not seen the world until he has seen Edinburgh and I think that I may say that an American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Mark Twain
Image
Glasgow is less polite than Edinburgh but that's a good thing - they keep it very real.
Nik Kershaw
Image
When I used to do the Edinburgh Festival, there was a bunch of guys selling fresh oysters and I'd eat ten daily - marvellous.
Paul Merton
Image
I love Scotland. Edinburgh is a beautiful city and has a wonderful tradition of supporting the arts.

I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
Shirley Manson

I did a production of 'Journey's End,' an RC Sherriff play about World War I, at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said, 'You know, you could really do this if you wanted to.'
Tom Hiddleston
Image
There's no leaving Edinburgh, No shifting it around: it stays with you, always.
Alan Bold
Image
I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.
Alan Rickman
Image
A madhouse of frenzied moneymaking and frenzied pleasure-seeking, with none of the corners chipped off. It is beautifully situatedand the air reminds one curiously of Edinburgh.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The instruction at Edinburgh was altogether by lectures, and these were intolerably dull, with the exception of those on chemistry.

Image
My first ever stage performance was in Edinburgh in 1960.
Davy Jones

After a rest in Edinburgh, where, passing a music-shop, I heard some blind man playing a mazurka of mine.

There's all this stuff that is happening in Edinburgh now, it's a sad attempt to create an Edinburgh society, similar to a London society, a highbrow literature celebrity society.
Irvine Welsh

For those who like that sort of thing, said Miss Brodie in her best Edinburgh voice, That is the sort of thing they like.
