This image shows red dots for tourist photos, blue dot for locals... And yellow for the not sures. Image thanks to the hardwork of Eric Fischer who has used data from geotagged photos on Flickr to create these for cities worldwide. I've added a zoom-in for Portobello. Note how the tourists don't manage to reach The Meadows, Water of Leith, ...
