Scotland’s capital is one of Europe’s most visited cities. It’s stunning setting and immense architectural scope has earned it the nickname ‘The Athens of the North.’ On high ground on a dark stone, the Mediaeval Old Town contrasts to the beautifully planned Georgian buildings of New Town below. Today Edinburgh is a thriving centre for museums, galleries and theatres, not to mention some of the best shopping in the UK.
Each summer the famous Edinburgh Festival and Edinburgh International Film Festival attract visitors and performers from around the world, bringing even more variety and colour to this great cultural metropolis. The recent situation of the new Scottish Parliament in Holyrood has also added to the global status of the city.
