If you're going, fully aware that its just a giant tourist trap, then it's pretty fun and wonderful. The architecture is legit and beautiful around the central kinda stuff.
But it is nothing but a tourist trap nowadays. I feel like its charm has been completely destroyed by it. Going outside of the main areas gets very depressing as all the houses and buildings are impoverished looking, and built with very depressing dark stone and that even more speckled cement style of scotland generally.
Still, if you can ignore that, it's legit a unique town for a day trip or two!
