Visit Edinburgh

 

Edinburgh is the compact and hilly capital of Scotland. It has a medieval old town and a beautiful Georgian new town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Overlooking the city is Edinburgh Castle, which houses the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur's Seat is a magnificent peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is full of monuments and memorials.
