Edinburgh - The Glass is Half Full

With all the negative press and documentaries focusing on Edinburgh recently, it is important to focus on the positives of the City.

Take for example the tram situation; there have been numerous articles claiming how the project has been a disaster from start to, well rather than 'finish', to now. 

However, it appears that the project is now 'back on track' (parden the pun) and once finished; Edinburgh will be provided with a fantastic tram system that will allow people to get around the City easily. 

In addition, there has always been an issue with traffic congestion and the trams are another way of reducing this problem.

Another positive to come out of a disaster is the recognition of Edinburgh's excellence in the financial industry.  While this sector has taken a particular thrashing in terms of cutbacks and loss of staff, there is a light at the end of the tunnel; Tesco Bank and Virgin Money.

Both these companies are setting up financial headquarters in Edinburgh and this will most certainly have a positive impact on the employment levels, as well as the subsequent expenditure and investment in the City. 

Perhaps Edinburgh isn't such a bad place to be afterall.
