Guide to Edinburgh

map
Scotland's craggy capital, Edinburgh, is the country's second largest city, with a population of 486,000 people. It's built on the Firth of Forth, and is surrounded by the Pentland Hills, rising into the former volcano that's now known as Arthur's Seat. Famous for its Royal Mile, some fantastic Medieval, Gothic and Georgian architecture, as well as its yearly Festival, Edinburgh is also UNESCO recognised as a City of Literature. Don't miss the Castle, head to one of the atmospheric graveyards to spot famous names and become dazzled by the optics of the Camera Obscura!
