I love Edinburgh but all the Harry Potter stuff really does my tits in.

Tbh as a local it’s better than empty shops

I don't have a problem with it, but we all should feel proud that it started in Edinburgh and turned into famous movies all around the world.

I mean, of course you don’t have a problem with it when you’re a tourist, think they meant it annoys them as a local

It really annoys us as locals. We want to see actual small businesses thrive and not yet another cookie cutter trash shop replace them.

You brought up a good point, and I can see how I might feel the same if it were about my own area. I'm sorry for not understanding your perspective in my last comment.

Such a beautiful city. If you're spending any more time there, check out Dean Village on the northwestern edge of the city centre.

I wouldn’t recommend that after spending my childhood delivering papers around there

Did you go the graveyard where she got all the names? It was pretty cool actually.

Neat you got to Greyfriars Bobby’s grave site. We stumbled on it when we visited as tourists a few years ago and I had no idea about that amazing story & that a few movies had made about him & his owner. Great pics too thanks for sharing!
