Edinburgh
Capital city and cultural centre of Scotland since the 15th century, Edinburgh is one of the most beautifully situated cities in the world. Flanked to the north by the Firth of Forth and to the south by the Pentland Hills – and affectionately known as the ‘Athens of the North’ by virtue of its impressive and individual architecture – Edinburgh is also renowned for its cobbled Royal Mile, which leads up from the Palace of Holyrood House to Edinburgh Castle. The castle itself sits atop a craggy outcrop overlooking the immaculate gardens of Princes Street and the tempting shops, welcoming bars and great restaurants of the West End. Once a rugby stadium with the world’s largest capacity (104,000) Edinburgh’s famous Murrayfield today holds up to 67,500 spectators and is a magical venue defined by deafening noise,whistling wind and the ferociously passionate support of the home crowd.
