Edinburgh

The city of Edinburgh is wonderfully striking; the city is perched on a series of extinct volcanoes and rocky crags that rise from the generally flat landscape of the Lothians, with the sheltered shoreline of the Firth of Forth to the north.

Edinburgh Castle dominates the city-centre skyline. From its ramparts, you can look down on medieval lanes and elegant, sweeping terraces that hold over a thousand years of history, mystery and tradition. Yet you will also see a modern, dynamic capital where international festivals attract the world’s leading performers, galleries display cutting-edge art, and bars, restaurants, and clubs create a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere with a distinctly Scottish twist.
