The classic railway bridge is often considered a symbol of Scotland, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction started in 1882 and the bridge was opened in 1890. Today, almost 200 trains cross the bridge daily.

Sunset over Edinburgh's skyline.
Spring in Edinburgh brings out lots of color after a long winter. The blossom trees in "The Meadows" (a central park in the city) provide romantic walking paths for both young and not-so-young.
Princes Street Gardens jump into color when Spring arrives. Nestled in the shadow of the castle, the gardens provide places to stroll, sit in the sun, or even lie out on the grass to sunbathe.
