About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, de hoofdstad van Schotland, ligt op vulkanische heuvels, met een kasteel op een rots, een middeleeuwse Old Town en een Georgiaanse New Town.

Edinburgh Castle kroont de Castle Rock en bewaart de Honours of Scotland, de Schotse kroonjuwelen. Vanaf daar loopt de Royal Mile bergaf door de Old Town, langs St Giles' Cathedral en een wirwar van smalle closes, naar het Palace of Holyroodhouse en het Schotse Parlement. Arthur's Seat, een oude vulkaan, rijst boven het paleis op met een weids uitzicht.
