EDINBURGH 55.9533° N, 3.1883° W There is no capital quite like Edinburgh, with its medieval and neoclassical beauty set amongst rocky hills and gracious green ribbons of park. Recognised as Scotland's capital since the 15th century, this city promises to make an unforgettable impression with its charming character and fascinating history. With cobbled streets and an alluring city skyline, the ultimate way to explore is on foot. Discover the 18th century New Town, comprised of delightful neoclassical and Georgian architecture, it is packed full of designer boutiques, high street shops, cafes, bars and restuarants. From a high point, view the dramatic skyline punctuated with church spires and dominated by Edinburgh Castle set upon its mighty rock. Meander through the centre of the bustling city and marvel at the iconic Royal Mile. Stand in awe before the 17th century Palace of Holyroodhouse, associated with some of Scotland's most well known historical figures including Mary Queen of Scots.
