Edinburgh is one of the most important cities in Scotland and is the capital of the country.
It is located on the banks of the Firth of Forth. The Old and New Town zones of the city were awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 1995. Edinburgh receives the second largest number of tourists in the UK after London.
The city has a great many places to visit, including Edinburgh Castle, which is the most popular of Scottish Castles. Here you can see the Scottish crown jewels and other interesting historical relics. The Scotch Whisky Museum has information about how this famous drink is made, and you can try it too! Another important place to see is the National Gallery of Scotland, which houses a fine collection of Scottish and European art. Other places well worth visiting include the Museum of Scotland; Edinburgh Zoo, which has hundreds of animal species and is undoubtedly one of Britain's largest zoos; the very interesting Royal Botanic Garden; and Scotland's National Aquarium, near Edinburgh, which houses the world's largest underwater tunnel. Don't miss it!
Edinburgh has a bit of everything, why don't you come and visit?
