After moving from Melbourne over two years ago, Edinburgh has been our home as we travel Europe and the rest of the world. Also being a tourist it gives me a better perspective than a local who may overlook the little gems that this great city has to offer. I work on the railway between Edinburgh and London so I have good tips for the east coast of the UK as well.
