Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. It is located in an old medieval town with an elegant Georgian New Town filled with gardens and neoclassical buildings. One of its most famous attractions is Edinburgh Castle, which displays Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny used when Scottish rulers were being coronated. In addition, another popular attraction is Arthur’s Seat, an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with spectacular views.
Other attractions:
• Royal Mile
• Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness
• St. Andrew’s and Fife
• Calton Hill
Edinburgh was initially a fort. Since Castle Rock was a position that could be easily defended, it was designated as the site of a fortress. During the 7th century, the English captured this area of Scotland and referred to it as Eiden’s burgh (the burgh is an old word that translates to “fort”). Then, in the 10th century, the Scots re-captured the region.
In 2021, Edinburgh’s estimated population was 542,599 residents.
