Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, is one
of the greenest and architecturally most
beautiful cities in Northern Europe. With
Over 2 million visitors annually, they come
not only for the architecture, but for a
city rich in social, cultural, learning
and sporting facilities. Each year the city
plays host to internationally renowned events
such as the Edinburgh International Arts,
Fringe, Film, TV and Science Festivals.
But more than just a tourist attraction,
with a population of 500,000 - it is a thriving
commercial and financial centre, the site
of the new Scottish Parliament and a gateway
to the coastline, hills and open country
of the Scottish Highlands.
Edinburgh's landmarks are known throughout
the world, from the magnificent Castle dominating
the city skyline, to the elegance of the
Georgian New Town, and the splendour of
its Victorian heritage. New developments
keep Edinburgh at the forefront of European
cultural life, and in the past few years
the city's Hogmanay celebrations (on New
Year's eve) has become the continent's biggest
street party.
For all this activity and bustle, Edinburgh
is built on a human scale, and many of its
highlights are within walking distance of
each other.
In the heart of the city are the rugged
Salisbury Crags, the volcanic hills topped
by Arthur's Seat. There are also many green
areas and parks, as well as the waterfront
location at the port of Leith, an area with
a character all of his own.
