Residents in New Edinburgh are a varied bunch, with many interesting leisure activities and travel experiences. This section of the community website is where residents can share their experiences and enthusiasm with others in the community. TRAVEL STORIESIf you are like many in New Edinburgh, travel is in your bones. In fact, there are so many Burghers traipsing around the world that we have decided to add this new travel area to the community site. So now when you are planning your next international adventure you can check out experiences that others from our neck of the woods have had in that region. And when you return, you can share your impressions and information.
