Edinburgh - The City
Set on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since 1492.
The city’s most important and historic promenade, The Royal Mile goes right through the Old Town and ends at The Palace of Holyroodhouse, once the home of Mary Queen of Scots and now the British Royal Family’s official Scottish residence.
Either side of this famous street, unique combination of the cobbled streets and dark, narrow wynds of the Old Town and the elegant Georgian grandeur of the neoclassic New Town have become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
