Auld Reekie

Oftentimes, the air in Edinburgh has a yeasty or bread-baking-like smell to it - like you could chew the air rather than breathe it. Although breathing it in deeply is much like aromatherapy. It's the smell of the mash being processed at a local distillery and I adore it. Some towns smell like paper mills, Edinburgh smells of whisky, beer and gin in the making. In fact, we happened across a small distillery this past weekend, and yes, there was the lovely smell. We stopped to take a photo only to realize that we had disturbed a couple in the middle of a romantic moment beside the still. Oops! I love this town.
