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?
