In this city rich in many glorious contrasts, the quiet presence of fog in Edinburgh over the last few days has added an extra dimension. The sea haar touches everything – rendering some things unseen and others seen with sharper clarity. Edinburgh has an inner life like yours and mine. Sometimes deep and clear. Sometimes fathomless and foggy. Sometimes brushed or moulded into life with vivid colours on canvas, in ceramics and in sculpture, and in conversation, dance and embrace, celebrated and lived and worked in innumerable creative studios. Sometimes smiling broadly. Sometimes a touch on the solemn side. Sometimes fringe. Sometimes mainstream. Sometimes softer, in watercolour, or in the poetry or the prayer of those who have meditated amid the throng in St Andrew’s Square. Sometimes alive with the pipes and with song. Sometimes contemplative beneath a soft blanket of silence. Here are architectural wonders enough to invite reverie and myriad imaginings. And in a day or two the city and her inhabitants will recall being touched by the softness of these days, and will open arms to welcome glad sunshine again, and autumn’s reds and gold. Edinburgh. Edinburgh. You are touched by – and you are – an extra dimension …
