Notes on this puzzle

Skyscrapers #5306 is a 6×6 city: every row and column holds the heights 1 to 6 once, and 11 of the 24 edge positions carry a clue. 2 heights are already standing inside the grid.

There are 3 clues of 1 around the frame; the first cell beside each of them must hold a 6. The bottom edge carries the most clues (4). 13 edge positions are blank, so parts of the grid are solved from the inside out.

Where to beginTry row 3, column 1 first: its row and column clues decide it without any other help. Check every pair of opposite clues; a pair adding up to N+1 is a gift.
