'So cute': Edinburgh couples go viral dancing in the pouring rain in Grassmarket

We all need a bit of cheering up, so it's no wonder a wholesome tweet has gone viral, showing everyone why Edinburgh is the most wonderful city.

Couples in the Scottish capital didn't let the rain dampen their parade as they danced around the Grassmarket.

In a clip shared on Twitter, captioned "couples dancing in the rain in Edinburgh", five duos quite literally take to the street for a quick whirl in the Old Town.

The footage has since gathered quite a bit of traction, with over five thousand likes from users around the world - as well as a few crying GIFs (we're right there with you).

"This city is beautiful", said one, while another person added: "This would be a dream."

Elsewhere, Mel commented: "Can you believe I was going to travel to Edinburgh in April. This could’ve been me and a Scottish dude."

"Someone learn how to dance with me so we can do this," said another.

And one woman spoke for us all when she said: "I want to be them."

With such a reaction, maybe dancing in the Grassmarket should be a weekly occurrence. And, no, a jig when you stagger out the pub does not count.
