The perfect escape for a real taste of Scottish hospitality is the enchanting cathedral town of Edinburgh and capital of Scotland, dubbed as being one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
|
Famous for its castle, the city’s most famous landmark is where you can enjoy panoramic views over the city that provides the perfect contrast to Glasgow, recently the European City of Culture. Edinburgh’s Castle sits atop impressive hills overlooking the spires and jumbled roof-scapes of the Old Town with its ancient streets and elegant domes contrasting with the classical columns of the ‘New Town’ beyond, or from below you can look up in awe at the magnificent building that dominates the capital. Stroll along elegant Princes Street, the Bond Street of the North for shopping, The Mound and the West End. Interesting attractions include the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh Crystal Centre, Scotch Whiskey heritage Centre, National Gallery of Scotland, Royal Mile and the impressive and ever popular Royal Yacht Britannia, the old Queen’s majestic vessel moored at Leith Harbour. explore the ship at your leisure see the state apartments, the bridge and the admiral’s quarters. For some scary moments check out the Edinburgh Dungeon, with its horror and black humour representing Scotland’s bloody past.
Against the backdrop of the Frith of Forth, Edinburgh also presents a romantic, cultured and vibrant face, its dramatic crags and valleys, sea views and stunning architecture is just waiting for you to explore. Steeped in history, it has also launched more than its fair share of notable figures onto the world stage: Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, the actor Sean Connery, perhaps best known as James Bond, but more recent roles have included "The Untouchables", for which he won an Oscar and Alexander Graham Bell, to name just a few. The Old Town reverberates with the history of Scottish royalty and romantic literary figures, but the bustling city knows how to entertain and every summer you can see the extraordinarily cosmopolitan and vibrant atmosphere of the Edinburgh International Festival, it's the world's biggest performing-arts festival and people come from all over.
