About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Schottlands Hauptstadt auf Vulkanhügeln: Burg auf dem Felsen, mittelalterliche Altstadt und elegante georgianische Neustadt.

Edinburgh Castle krönt den Castle Rock und bewahrt die Honours of Scotland, die schottischen Kronjuwelen. Von dort führt die Royal Mile bergab durch die Altstadt, vorbei an der St Giles' Cathedral und einem Gewirr enger Closes, zum Palace of Holyroodhouse und zum Schottischen Parlament. Arthur's Seat, ein uralter Vulkan, erhebt sich mit weiten Ausblicken über dem Palast.
