Edinburgh Castle

Evening News deputy editor Ginny Sanderson chose this popular attraction at the top of the High Street. She said: "Camera Obscura is one of Edinburgh's best known tourist attractions and it really is worth a visit. They pack in so many optical illusions in that tower that it makes you feel like a big kid exploring the place and trying things out. I am not ashamed to admit I have spent hours there. Besides the Camera Obscura itself, the highlights are the vortex tunnel which makes you feel like you've had about 10 pints, the mirror maze, and the voyeuristic little camera bit where you can zoom in on the people wandering around the Castle Esplanade."

Colinton Dell is News reporter Kevin Quinn's favourite spot in Edinburgh. "I like to go for a run or a cycle in the Dell, it's nice to get out in the fresh air and clear my head," he said. "I love that Edinburgh has spots like this, a countryside oasis in a bustling city, where you can enjoy all the sights and sounds of nature. I particularly like heading through the colourful Colinton Tunnel (pictured) and admiring the community artwork on display, which is often updated, keeping things interesting."
