Edinburgh – Scotland
The historic capital city of Edinburgh rises along a series of volcanic ridges overlooking the Firth of Forth. Dominating the skyline is the imposing Edinburgh Castle, perched dramatically atop an ancient volcanic rock.
The city’s medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town together form one of the most remarkable historic urban landscapes in Europe. Narrow closes, grand squares, and historic buildings reflect centuries of political, cultural, and intellectual life.
Because of its extraordinary preservation and historical significance, Edinburgh’s historic center is recognized as a Old and New Towns of Edinburgh.
