As an American living in Edinburgh, I know there are a variety of underrated places to explore.

When I first moved from the US to Edinburgh in 2021, I knew little about the city beyond its striking medieval architecture, whisky distilleries, and supposedly dreary weather.Four years — and far more sunshine than expected — later, I've fallen in love with Scotland's capital and all it has to offer.Although popular spots like the Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh Castle are worth seeing, here are six places I think are just as worthy of a visit.
In addition to Arthur's Seat, I recommend hiking the nearby Pentland Hills and Blackford Hill.
One of my favorite places to hike is the Pentland Hills, located less than an hour from Edinburgh.
