Edinburgh
A castle glowering over the city from an extinct volcano, a festival every August that briefly triples the population, and a whisky bar for every argument about which one is best.
The best time to visit Edinburgh is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 19°C (65°F). Local time there is 08:08 (UTC+1).
