One of the best things about Edinburgh is its setting. With the castle perched on top of a volcanic crag, dominating the city centre; an extinct Volcano, Arthur's Seat, right in the middle of the city; Princess Street Gardens, an area of greenery in front of the castle which were previously lochs (lakes) that were drained in the 1820s; and the Seven Hills that Edinburgh was built on, all adding to the dramatic setting
