Mapping Edinburgh, Scotland

The plan is to map out the many sights and tours one might want to see and experience while in the city of Edinburgh! Exactly two years ago I went on a vacation with my boyfriend and his family to Scotland. While there we tried to cram in as many sites as we could within a weeks time frame. I want to recreate the trip and make it available for revisiting. This map is seasonally specific because of the must-see Christmas and German Market festival that is only held for about a month beginning the week after Thanksgiving. I am still deciding on whether to make the map have a design aspect to it or look more like a usable map.
