About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Skottlands hovedstad, reiser seg på vulkanske åser, med et slott på en klippe, en middelaldersk gamleby og en elegant georgiansk New Town.

Edinburgh Castle kroner Castle Rock og oppbevarer Honours of Scotland, de skotske kronjuvelene. Derfra løper Royal Mile nedover Gamlebyen, forbi St Giles' Cathedral og en floke av smale closes, til Holyroodhouse-palasset og det skotske parlamentet. Arthur's Seat, en eldgammel vulkan, reiser seg over palasset med vid utsikt.
