Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. Home to Scotland's devolved parliament at Holyrood and high courts of law, Edinburgh is undoubtedly the administrative heart of Scotland. She is however also a city of learning and is home to four universities continuing the historical legacy of the Scottish Enlightenment. Edinburgh caters successfully to the sometimes bizarre and always varied needs of tens of thousands of students. Edinburgh is world renowned for its annual cultural feast, the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe. Many secondary festivals have sprung up around the International festival in areas as diverse as Science, Television and Film, Books, Jazz and Mela.
With so much going for the city it is no surprise that for those of us who live here it is second nature to take our visitors around the attractions and to witness various events. This guide is an attempt to collate some of this information for visitors and new residents alike.
I know you will enjoy your experience of Edinburgh. Make the most of it.
