Nonwhite people are unwelcome in this city. Growing up my mum would sit on the park chair and the locals would all get up and glare at us before leaving and they would not allow their children to play with me but only the other white children, this was in the 2000s and I have since left, the only other person in class who wasn't white was from Hong Kong and years later I asked him if things changed and he said people call him a "chink" on a daily basis but otherwise it's a safe place but I have heard people getting beat up in racist attacks. Visually Edinburgh is a beautiful city so I would recommend to visit it at least once but it's a shame the peoples behaviour is like this, people often forget that depending on your race and sometimes your gender you might have a different experience when visiting a city/country.

Edinburgh is a fairly safe city. Even at night you do not have to worry about anything most of the time. Be careful in Leith and the surrounding areas though. There is quite a lot of poverty and drug use there so it is advised to keep a rather low profile and preferably not visit alone at night.

Edinburgh is pretty safe
Just take care on Cowgate by night and follow the typical commun cense that everyone should follow in big cities .
