So, first of all, why Edinburgh?
Because Mike had been here before, briefly, and said it was pretty. Well, let's be honest: he most likely used a manlier word than pretty. Maybe 'awesome' or 'rad'. But the general idea was that it looked like a beautiful place to live.
After our stint in Bath, Dee and I wanted to live somewhere a bit more city-like, but without a city-like busy atmosphere.
London was not on our radar...not even just a bit.
We wanted to live in Scotland because our visa allowed us to be anywhere in the UK. So, why not spread out? England, check. Scotland...check. Glasgow seemed too big of a city, and Edinburgh had history. So we took an overnight bus to Edinburgh, after a few weeks in the hostel found a neat, ancient flat in the Old Town and settled in.
And that's about where we started. No special reason, really, I just like pretty places.
