I spend a lot of time in the Grassmarket, which is just a few minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Castle. It’s a spacious market square which is lined by magnificent stone townhouses, many of them dating from the sixteenth century. Some of the buildings are eight or nine storeys high -among the tallest in the city. Each house has a different style to its neighbour, but together the buildings create a feeling of harmony. The Grassmarket doesn’t get as crowded with tourists as other parts of the old town, and there are a couple of charming cafes on the square where I sometimes go with friends between lectures. We just sit and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere — it’s really magic!

Finally, Dan and Tonia found a shabby bedsit in a gloomy district, not far from the city centre — one room with a kitchen. It was on a deserted street lined with shabby detached houses. There was a gorgeous view of the city centre from the window. The bedsit was unfurnished, so they bought some furniture — a sofa bed, a coffee table and some armchairs.

I know a mysterious place in my town called the Old Water Tower. It stands on a hill near the river, not far from the city centre. The tower was built more than a hundred years ago, when the town was growing quickly and needed a new water supply. Today it is no longer used, but it still looks impressive and a little eerie, especially in the evening.

The building is made of dark stone, and its narrow windows make it seem secretive and old. Around it there are tall trees, so the place is often quiet and deserted. People say that strange things happened there long ago, which makes it even more fascinating. I like this place because it feels magical and full of history.
