Edinburgh has a similar climate to Bergen - it's very rainy and grey. There were a lot of days I'd sit inside in front of the computer, make music, and dream about summer - instead of the rainy reality outside.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Scotland's a pretty place. I mean, as long as it ain't raining.
I can't really change for a climate. I've got to be Theophilus London in any weather.
This possibility bothered me as I thought it was not advisable to remain in one academic environment, and the long dark winters in Edinburgh could be rather dismal.
I've spent a lot of very happy times in Edinburgh as a result of playing virtually every festival since 1996. It's also a beautiful city in its own right, is walkable, within sight of the sea and mountains - and was too far north for the Luftwaffe to have done any damage, hence the spectacularly beautiful architecture.
If Northern Ireland had better weather, it would be like New Zealand. It's an immensely beautiful country.
When the weather's good, there's no better place to be than the British countryside.
Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.
Edinburgh is my favourite city. We'll be doing a lot of children's theatre and galleries.
My granny would come out and stay with us in the winter, and we would listen to the reports from the coastal stations and have a discussion in the middle of Glasgow about what the weather was like in Tiree.
I find Edinburgh a stimulating place in which to live, with it being a city of contrasts, both architecturally and socially, and each district having a definite character.
