I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Salisbury crags
Edinburgh is an ideal destination for a mountain goat or a geologist. It's full of things to climb -- the Castle, of course, and then Calton Hill on the east side with its one-walled Parthenon, and on the south side, Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat.
Even if you're not inclined to climb, you still can't help being aware of geology in the central city. On the street between my hotel and the Royal Mile, the Castle looms overhead on one side, while on the other you look down on the Old Town.
