Situated on the site of what was once Nor’ Loch, where witches were drowned for their horrible imagined deeds, is the Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. Happily for today’s wannabe witches the Loch was drained and landscaped with lush lawns and stone fountains. Right in the centre of Edinburgh the views of the Old Town and Castle are fantastic, and the leafy trees offer shade and delightful resting places for the weary traveller.
