Tourists have the run of the place.

Light and bright

By the sea, by the sea

The ancient city looks seaward.

Life at the top.

You take the high road

…And I'll take the elevator.

High atop the city…

The castle sees everything.

Alleys, we got alleys.

Curves here

Get your woolens here.

Waverley Station

Down the taxi ramp into the bowels.

St Giles

Plus your Roman emperor, for show.

The cathedral

Gotta have the big church for the bishop.

A long mile

The Royal mile goes on and on and on.
