@beyondbyaysu: No skyscrapers, just castles and stories 🏰✨ If you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale when you walk through Edinburgh, it’s not an accident. There is a reason why you won’t see a single modern skyscraper dominating this skyline: 📌 UNESCO World Heritage Protection: Both the Old Town and New Town are strictly protected. The city preserves its historical architecture, ensuring that no modern high-rises ruin the view of Edinburgh Castle or the historic Royal Mile 📌 Strict Building Codes: To maintain the city’s unique charm and character, the local council has strict height restrictions on buildings Here the “skyscrapers” are the gothic spires, volcanic hills and centuries-old stone buildings. And honestly? It makes it one of the most liveable, walkable and breathtaking cities in the world ✨ 💾 Save this post for your future Scotland trip and follow @beyondbyaysu for more travel guides! #BeyondbyAysu #edinburgh #Scotland #visitedinburgh #lovescotland scotlandtravel edinburghcastle travelguides hiddengems europe_travel travelreels
