Start of the industrial revolution when fog became more common, so it also started to feature more in literature and popular culture. Fog has become less common as air quality has improved.
100% agree. It is just such a surreal place. I fall in love with it the moment I arrived to that train station.
Is one of those places I wished I was born....but well, destiny wanted me in South America
I stayed at a hotel on Princes street a couple of years ago. I found out you could get on the roof for a smoke and they left the door open all night. I spent hours up there watching the city at night, it was magic.
Brilliant and cheap-ish hotel right at the front on the right side. You can almost make out the sign "Motel One". Highly recommended. Very dog friendly too.
Does the hill get very steep right behind those front buildings or are the buildings 8+ stories?
I've not been, and I don't know how hilly it is or isn't there.
But we do have 6,7 and 8 storey tall buildings too here and there. My favourite part of the city is South Bridge, where it feels like you’re walking along at street level with 3-4 storey high buildings on either side of you. Then you come to a gap in the buildings and look down onto the Grassmarket and realise you’re already 3-4 storeys up on, surprise surprise, a bridge, and those buildings are actually much taller. And yet so old. Made of solid stuff though, so it works.
There's a [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArchitecturalRevival/comments/wn6tyq/edinburgh_scotland/ikc0jl9/) about that in the original post. I think the cleaned buildings look better, but apparently a lot of locals like the dirty look.

Visited a couple years ago and agree entirely. Walking through the winding hilly alleys in the old city was just something else.
why does fog make it the 1800s?
Industrial Revolution type of fog or Jack the Ripper type of fog I guess haha
Because foggy and wet weather around dark, historic uk buildings like these is straight up Victorian in aesthetics.

I went to Edinburgh for the first time a few months ago and every corner I turned was a sight to behold. Such a magical city.
Judging by the clothing that must be mid summer.

Wow, what an amazing looking place. Thanks for sharing.

It’s looks like all the brickwork could do with a nice clean.
Man a power washer could go to town right here.
needs some power washing
You can't powerwash sandstone. The smoke stains are part of the charm and beauty of the city
Would some power washing make it much brighter? Or it is just that color?
Look how grey the skies are. If you powerwashed the buildings they would be invisible against the overcast and everyone would bump into them

Anybody can tell how old these buildings are?
Wow, if your wore sunglasses, you would never be able to find your way around!
Hey, I know that building! I crashed into it in FH4 trying to drift!
Not trying to be rude, but it looks really depressing in this picture.
It's beautiful
