And of course, everyone should go to Edinburgh....

But Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream

Fitful and dark,

Unseizable in Leith

And wildered by the Forth,

But irresistibly at last

Cleaving to sombre heights

Of passionate imagining

Till stonily,

From soaring battlements,

Earth eyes Eternity

Where is this from? I find Edinburgh cemetery to be a wierdly welcoming tourist attraction.
It's the poem Edinburgh by Hugh MacDiarmid:
