Edinburgh New Town

Edinburgh New Town is the 18th-century Georgian planned city that forms the other half of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage site, laid out in a rational grid of wide streets, crescents, and garden squares between 1767 and 1850. Its elegant Georgian townhouses, private gardens, and grand architecture represent the ideals of the Scottish Enlightenment. Princes Street, the New Town's main commercial thoroughfare, offers dramatic views across the valley to the Old Town and castle above.

Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle is Scotland's most visited attraction and one of Europe's oldest fortified sites, perched on an ancient volcanic plug that has been occupied for 3,000 years. The castle complex includes the Scottish Crown Jewels (the oldest in Britain), the Stone of Destiny, the One O'Clock Gun, and St Margaret's Chapel — the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, dating from the 12th century. The castle's commanding position over the city is dramatic in every season.

Sightseeing

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old Town is the medieval half of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage City, a dramatic mile-long spine of volcanic rock dominated by the castle at one end and the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the other, with centuries of Scottish history compressed into a labyrinth of closes, wynds, and tenements. The Royal Mile connects the two royal residences through the heart of the old city, passing the High Kirk of St Giles and Grassmarket along the way. The August Fringe Festival transforms the Old Town into the world's greatest arts festival.
