This
is a city that knows how to blend modern and medieval.
'Edinburgh', said the writer Robert Louis Stevenson,
'is what Paris ought to be'. With its magnificent
architecture that ranges from ancient churches
to monumental Victorian masterpieces. All dominated
by a fantastic castle, right in the centre which
completely dominates the city and surrounding
skyline. Edinburgh is probably the least Scottish
city in Scotland, but nevertheless it has an elegance
that will completely overwhelm you. It's multicultural
and sophisticated population set it apart from
other Scottish cities, with its vibrant pub and
club scene, student population and some excellent
full-on festivals. The city is also home to some
of the best galleries and museums in the UK, so
whether you're into modern art, want to learn
more about Scotland's history or fancy a trip
down memory lane with the toys of your childhood,
the city has something for you.
The Lothian countryside, just beyond Edinburgh,
is spectacular. It's steeped in history, filled
with ancient castles, grand houses and epic battle
sites. It's also the ancient home of the game
of golf and you can find some of the great links
and parkland courses of the world here. This isn't
just a golfer's paradise, since the countryside
is open for everyone, from picnickers on the fine
golden beaches, to walkers high in the Pentland
Hills.
