Edinburgh top to bottom: from the Witches' Well on the Castle esplanade, down the full length of the Royal Mile past philosophers, firefighters and poets, round the foot of Calton Hill, then the long satisfying descent of Leith Walk to the cobbled Shore — finishing with Burns, anchors and the Merchant Navy memorial where the city meets the sea.
