The given line graph illustrates the proportion of travelers to Scotland visiting four attractive scenes in Edinburgh from 1985 to 2010. Overall, there was a downward trend in the rate of visitors going to the castle and aquarium, while an opposite tendency was witnessed in festival and zoo.

As can be seen from the graph, there was a 25% growth in the percentage of tourists who visited the castle in the first 17-year interval (stared at 24% in 1980). The data plunged by nearly a half to over 30% in 2010. As the same as the tendency witnessed in castle, the proportion of visitors to aquarium reached a peak of 35% in 1985 (from 20% in 1980) before slumping to under 10%

Conversely, the figure for ravelers to festival stared at 30% in 1980 and decreased to 24% in 1995, after which there was an insignificant increase to 26% until 2000. A period of stability was seen in the rest of the given time span. As regards the zoo, the period from 1980 to 2000 observed a fluctuation between 10% and 15% in the rate of visitors, followed by a dramatical rise of 10% in the next 10-year duration.
