About Edimburgo

Edimburgo, capitale scozzese su colli vulcanici: castello su una rupe, Città Vecchia medievale ed elegante Città Nuova georgiana.

Il Castello di Edimburgo corona Castle Rock e custodisce gli Honours of Scotland, i gioielli della corona scozzese. Da lì il Royal Mile scende attraverso la Città Vecchia, oltre la cattedrale di St Giles e un dedalo di stretti closes, fino al Palazzo di Holyroodhouse e al Parlamento scozzese. Arthur's Seat, un antico vulcano, si innalza sopra il palazzo con ampie viste.
