Uncover the past and enjoy the present in stunning Edinburgh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a vibrant and cosmopolitan city woven by a rich and interesting history with award-winning architecture and secret closes. Edinburgh possesses all that you would expect from a revered international city from fine dining to a buzzing nightlife, star-studded shows to arthouse film, and great galleries to modern music.
As Europe's festival capital, Edinburgh boasts an unparalleled calendar of events and festivals throughout the year. August explodes into life with multiple festivals happening all at once, encompassing theatre, comedy, music, art, literature and more, and standing proudly above all of these festivities is the majestic Edinburgh Castle, perched on dramatic volcanic rock.
Outside the city, you can escape along scenic coast that sweeps the Firth of Forth out to Bass Rock on the east and the charming towns of North Berwick, Dunbar and Haddington. Inwards to the west you can discover the impressive Linlithgow Palace and don’t forget to visit the intriguing and world-famous Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian.
