Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's magnificent capital where the ancient Royal Mile connects Edinburgh Castle on its volcanic crag to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The Old Town's medieval closes, St Giles' Cathedral, and Greyfriars Kirkyard inspired Robert Louis Stevenson and J.K. Rowling. The New Town's Georgian terraces, Princes Street, and world-class National Museum make Edinburgh one of Europe's most culturally rich and architecturally dramatic cities.
