Except a political and business center,
Edinburgh is also an important center for culture.
The Edinburgh festival taken place every July
attracts people from the whole world. It
is also known as the home of the best-sold
writer such as J.K Rowling, who created a magic
world of Harry Porter and his friends, and Sir
Walter Scott, who once writes many novels about
Scottish life. There is a sculpture of him in the
central of the city, the Scott Monument. The old
town is a very good area for shopping. The streets
are pretty narrow, but always crowded with tourists
and shoppers, especially at weekend. There's also
a street market on Sunday there you can find all
sorts of arts and crafts. If you will pay a visit to
Edinburgh, don't forget to bring some warm
clothes. Because it is in the evenings when it
usually gets cold.
