Edinburgh

The One O’Clock Gun booms out over the city every day from the iconic Edinburgh Castle, sentinel of the city’s festivals, castles, palaces, and universities.  One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Edinburgh is steeped in history, culture and learning.
An Edinburgh tourist guide would surely take visitors to the World Heritage Site of the Old and New Towns.  With 4,500 listed buildings, beautiful parks, gardens and nature trails, the snapshots of time through the ages is almost surreal. Be it the Royal Mile, Grassmarket or even the port area of Leith,  there is plenty to interest any visitor, whether they are interested in geology, nature, history, festivals, nightlife, dining, shopping or culture.  Almost four and a half million tourists a year enjoy this wonderful city.
Edinburgh is the world's first UNESCO City of Literature, which isn’t surprising with four universities, one college and excellent schools. During the summer months, this cultural city hosts the biggest annual International Festival and Festival Fringe, Military Tattoo and International Book Festival. If you miss action-packed August, there are other festivals throughout the year.
