Edinburgh is world renowned as one
of the finest capital cities with it's well preserved late medieval Old Town
and fine Georgian New Town. The famous Castle rises on rocks above the city
centre. These heights have seen continuous human occupation for 7000 years!
The Old Town lies along the Royal Mile, the street with winds down from the
Castle to the Royal Palace of Holyrood and the new Scottish Parliament building.
Edinburgh is now one of Europe's major
financial centres in addition to being administrative centre of the government.
Around the city many new high technology industries have grown up in recent
decades with 'silicon glen' lying to the west. It has much to offer the visitor
with wonderful architecture and fine views across the city. There are National
galleries and museums, theatres, shops, restaurants, zoological and botanical
gardens. The annual August Edinburgh Festival and the huge Hogmanay celebrations
at New Year attracting the largest numbers of visitors. Year round, Edinburgh
is a great place to visit and stay in.
