Edinburgh Quotes

Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around Picture Quote #1

Edinburgh used to be a haughty city Picture Quote #1

I love coming back to Edinburgh. It’s nice to spend real time here Picture Quote #1

I liked Edinburgh as a university in a way that I’d never enjoyed King’s College London. I realised after I came to Edinburgh that perhaps it was a mistake to have gone to a college which was bang in the centre of a vast city. It had a bad effect on the social life of the students because a lot of them were commuting from outer London Picture Quote #1

I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I’ve liked what I’ve experienced of Glasgow’s Film Festival too Picture Quote #1

Edinburgh is my favourite city. We’ll be doing a lot of children’s theatre and galleries Picture Quote #1

My first ideas of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) arose with my Ph.D. in Edinburgh University in the early 1950s. Supervised by Alan Beatty, my research was based on his work on altering chromosomal complements in mouse embryos Picture Quote #1

I owe a great deal to Harold Hobson, doyen drama critic of the ‘U.K. Sunday Times,’ who championed me as Shakespeare’s Richard II at the 1969 Edinburgh Festival Picture Quote #1

My upbringing has always been quite equal in terms of cultural influences. But it’s unlikely that anything could prepare you for a job that involves belting out Proclaimers songs on camera, in Edinburgh and in public Picture Quote #1

For some time, Scotland’s greatest exports to England have included whisky and Scottish MPs. Or, in the case of Charles Kennedy, both. All these links, politically, economically, culturally, are part of my Union. Would Glasgow’s brilliant Commonwealth Games or the Edinburgh Festival be any better for our being independent? I doubt it Picture Quote #1

I love Chatsworth, Winchester Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle... Every time I’m in the vicinity of something old and worth looking at, I try to go. You don’t even have to leave your home town to see some places. How many Londoners have seen the crown jewels? Not many, and they’ll blow you away, I promise Picture Quote #1

Ian Rankin’s Rebus is the king of modern British crime fiction. He is dour, determined, and constantly falls foul of his seniors. For all this, we root for him. He is eminently loveable, a quixotic hero moving through the darker half of a Jekyll and Hyde Edinburgh Picture Quote #1

My identity has always been confused. Born in Edinburgh of a Scottish/Russian/Jewish mother and an English/Irish/Catholic father, there is no form of guilt to which I was not subjected in my childhood. Members of my immediate family live all over the world - a diaspora of cousins, aunts, uncles and more in a dizzying mix Picture Quote #1

I do get recognized, but I must say Edinburgh is a fantastic city to live if you’re well-known. There is an innate respect for privacy in Edinburgh people, and I also think they’re used to seeing me walking around, so I don’t think I’m a very big deal Picture Quote #1

I can see a day soon where you’ll create your own college degree by taking the best online courses from the best professors from around the world - some computing from Stanford, some entrepreneurship from Wharton, some ethics from Brandeis, some literature from Edinburgh - paying only the nominal fee for the certificates of completion Picture Quote #1

When I was deputy chairman I could travel from Glasgow to Edinburgh without leaving Tory land. In a two - week period I covered every constituency in which we had an MP. There were 14. Now we have only one. We appear to have given up Picture Quote #1

The colleges of Edinburgh and Geneva as seminaries of science, are considered as the two eyes of Europe. While Great Britain and America give the preference to the former, all other countries give it to the latter Picture Quote #1

In 1987, I was in Edinburgh doing my first one-man show. I took part in a kickabout with some fellow comedians and tripped over my trousers and heard this cracking sound in my leg. A couple of days later I went into a coma and was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism Picture Quote #1

When I do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I always go across to Loch Ness and stay there Picture Quote #1

I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals Picture Quote #1

When I was asked to be Writer in Residence at Edinburgh I thought, you can’t teach poetry. This is ridiculous Picture Quote #1

I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home Picture Quote #1

Edinburgh is my favourite city. We’ll be doing a lot of children’s theatre and galleries Picture Quote #1

There's all this stuff that is happening in Edinburgh now, it's a sad attempt to create an Edinburgh society, similar to a London society, a highbrow literature celebrity society Picture Quote #1
