IN SHORT
People often think of Paris as a literary city, but Edinburgh has a fascinating history of its own in that respect. Great writers like Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have called Edinburgh home, and even J.K. Rowling is said to have penned much of the first Harry Potter novels in a cafe sitting below Edinburgh Castle (inspiration for Hogwarts!). After going to Edinburgh, you can see why the city has inspired these writers--there's just something that seems mysterious and adventurous about the place!
