...Swedish bakery where they bake everything on-site and the outdoor terrace is the perfect place to sit and relax. Then I'd take the car to Cramond, a picturesque former fishing village a 20-minute drive north of Edinburgh, for a long walk along the beach and seafront. There's also a direct bus. The afternoon would find me back in the city at Ondine, tel: (44-131) 226 1888, eating oysters at their horseshoe-shaped crustacean bar.

Businessmen complain that the development's new market and business complex is too far out from the former city center, and some residents working in the fishing industry who found it too difficult to commute between between the new housing in Siribopura and the beach have already sublet their new units to move closer to the shore. Another lot of houses rapidly constructed through public donations from Hungary started losing rafters, beams and windows even before the first tenants arrived.
