Edinburgh is quite fondly called "Auld Rekey," or "Old Smokey," in Scots. The city's historical chimneys and smoke led to pollution that permeated the whole area and resulted in the moniker. Although Edinburgh usually gets windy and wet, the unpleasant weather accentuates the town's appeal by creating a sombre and mysterious atmosphere instead of being a nuisance. The capitol glows especially when the sun peeks through the clouds. Guiding curious visitors to view crypts, alleyways, and graveyards to learn more about the secrets haunting the city's core, the ghosts of Edinburgh, unwilling to leave the city, emerge to stalk the streets and buildings at night.
