About
Edinburgh
Edinburgh - capital of Scotland, a thriving political, financial,
cultural and commercial centre. Its historical legacy makes it a
natural centre of interest for the visitor, and an ideal point from
which to begin a holiday in Scotland.
There is something for everyone in this city. There is so much to
choose to do - one can just look at the sheer beauty of the architecture,
or go for bracing walks in the royal park of Arthur's Seat. The
wide and never-ending diversity of its cultural activities never
fails to impress. Of course, there is the frantic period of July
and August when the city becomes submerged in cultural activities
- the International Festival, the Fringe Festival, the Jazz Festival,
the Book Festival... want any more?
The city possesses all manner of pubs, cafes, bistros, clubs. Cinemas
cater for all tastes, theatres present everything from the block-busters
down to the most intimate avant-garde. If you really want to experience
something unusual, try one of the haunted tours of the Old Town
- said to be the most haunted city in the UK! And because Edinburgh
is such a compact city, everything is within walking distance.
Weather
Edinburgh weather tends to the dry rather than the wetter conditions
experienced on the west coast. In winter this can mean seriously
cold north east winds sweeping in across the North Sea. In summer,
days can be mild and warm. Its a typical North West European maritime
climate, with a tendency to less rain than the average.
