Walking through all these streets around the New Town makes the ever present wind and drizzle worth every step

This is a familiar mall walk very much like our very own Ayala Malls with the very same brands, the John Lewis department store and the usual browse through drug store cosmetics. Out of the mall, you may spill over onto some sunshine and cross St. Andrews Square and I suddenly realized that I know where I am and feel hopeful. It’s dry and warm enough to have a glass of wine outdoors.
Having fortified myself, I am now on the edge of The New Town of Edinburgh, a UNESCO heritage site. It starts at St Andrews Square with Lord Melville’s Monument through the main drag which is George Street ending in Charlotte Square and St. George Cathedral.I wander with a swagger down the road popping into boutiques, looking out for end of summer sales. Oh yes, also to stop and admire the statues marking each intersection, most notably King George IV, which marks my way home.
How all this is on my more or less one kilometer walk up and down the Stockbridge main street, I’ll never know. Well, Google knows. It was a traditional market established for independent vendors in the early 19century but was closed in 1906. One can guess that the natural evolution would be this borough with an incredible array of retailers and a choice of restaurants that would rival that of any major capital. A microcosm of all good things internationally.
