TheOneToGo
Edinburgh rewards a photographer who can use both the moody closes of the Old Town and the open sweep up to Arthur's Seat in a single afternoon.
Our pick
Victoria Street's curve of painted shopfronts and the silhouette of the castle from the Vennel steps are the frames the city is known for, but Dean Village and Calton Hill add range. A local shooter knows how Edinburgh's quick weather shifts the mood and when the cobbles glisten just right. They route you between the dramatic and the postcard with little wasted time. Few photographers command both faces of the city in one afternoon.
If our pick doesn't fit
A simpler, significantly cheaper session with a local photographer, good if you want holiday memories without the premium rate.
A lesson where you learn to photograph Edinburgh yourself, suited to travellers who want skills rather than a set of posed portraits.
