Beautiful Edinburgh in Pictures

I heard a lot about Edinburgh in the past but never knew how beautiful it is.  I've been to the city centre several times during my 3 weeks in Scotland and I've yet to see and visit all the interesting places.  The city is well laid out, with the Princes St Garden in the middle, surrounded by the Royal Mile on one side, and Princes St and all the shopping areas on the other side.  See for yourself below how beautiful the city is.
