I spend a lot of time in the Grassmarket, which is just a few minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Castle. It’s a spacious market square which is lined by magnificent stone townhouses, many of them dating from the sixteenth century. Some of the buildings are eight or nine storeys high -among the tallest in the city. Each house has a different style to its neighbour, but together the buildings create a feeling of harmony. The Grassmarket doesn’t get as crowded with tourists as other parts of the old town, and there are a couple of charming cafes on the square where I sometimes go with friends between lectures. We just sit and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere - it’s really magic!

Filially, Dan and Tonia found a bedsit in a district, not far from the city centre - one room with a kitchen. It was on a street lined with detached houses. There was a view of the city centre from the window. The bedsit was unfurnished so they bought, some furniture -a sofa bed, a coffee table and some armchairs.
