About Edinburgh
Edinburgh - Scotland's Historic & Cultural Capital
Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric cities in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town create a dramatic urban landscape. Dominated by the iconic Edinburgh Castle perched on its volcanic rock, the city's Royal Mile stretches down to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official Scottish residence of the monarchy. The Scottish Parliament sits at the foot of Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano that rises 250 metres in Holyrood Park. Edinburgh is renowned for its festivals, including the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe, International Festival, and Hogmanay celebrations that draw millions of visitors annually. The city is Scotland's financial centre and home to the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading research universities. From the Georgian elegance of Princes Street and the New Town to the medieval closes and wynds of the Old Town, Edinburgh offers an unparalleled combination of history, culture, and natural beauty. The city is also the perfect gateway to the Scottish Highlands, with easy access to Stirling, St Andrews, and the stunning Highland landscapes.
