A city in Scotland has been named among the best"alternative" places in the world to see the cherry blossom bloom this spring.
"Festivals are now held in honour of the delicate pink and white petals all over the world, with many nationalities following the Japanese custom of picnicking with friends and family beneath the canopy.Scottishsaid:"Spring arrives a bit later in the Scottish capital, with the blossoms usually unfurling in late April. The best way to see them is on a wander around town — they look particularly striking against the weathered sandstone of Edinburgh’s older buildings.
The newspaper said:"There are several varieties of cherry trees in the city’s parks — try Greenwich, Regent’s, St James’s or Battersea, or just wander the residential streets around Primrose Hill and Chelsea, where the blooms look particularly pretty against the pastel-coloured townhouses. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
