Enter the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Through parks, around the back of houses and along rivers then Salisbury Crags - cliffs on the edge of Arthur's Seat - are on my right.

After walking through a long, dark, grim smelling tunnel I suddenly arrive in the St Leonard's area of Edinburgh.

It's festival time and the crowds get more and more numerous as I enter the city.

It's a bit overwhelming to see all these people so I check into my hostel and go off to see Dunkirk on the IMAX.
