Hi Ashley,
You probably read a ton of these, as your blog is hella interesting. But I was wondering if you could offer me some advice about Scotland. I'm about to do a study abroad experience in Edinburgh at Napier University, and I'll be doing an internship in the city as well. Since it seems you have quite an eye for the beautiful, extraordinary, or even the ordinary (just with through a unique perspective), could you let me in on some of the the Edinburgh must-sees? I don't want to go to the tourist attractions if I can avoid them. I'm only in Scotland from this September to this December, so I have to cram in a lot, but I really want to become as much of a native as I can. Can you help?
Thanks so much, and please keep doing your thing. You make more people smile than you know.
:)
Ellen

Hi Ellen,
That was a really nice message to read, thanks for writing it! I don’t know Edinburgh all that well, at least not to the extent I could suggest things other people already haven’t. Having read your blog it seems you’re doing a fair bit of research on it. Give me a shout when you’re in Edinburgh, though, and I’ll take you to my side of the hood, the west coast :)
Thanks again for the awesome message.
