I agree that these are nice, but ... I lived in a number of flats in Edinburgh with nice (shared) gardens, but I don't think I ever used them even once. There are soooo many other cool and pretty places within easy walking distance... [I lived there in the '90s, though, and I'm a bit scared to return for fear that the city has been ruined by its new-found position as a seat of "power" (haha); the sharp-suits crowd, "gotta pave over that park and widen those roads for my flash car!", etc...]
