Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital and second largest city (after Glasgow) of Scotland,
in the UK.
Edinburgh has in fact been the Scottish capital since 1437, and seat of the revived
Scottish Parliament since it first met in
1999.
As of the
2001 census,
Edinburgh had a population of 448,624.
Perhaps the best known building in Edinburgh is Edinburgh Castle which overlooks the city
from Castle Rock. There is archaeological evidence of human habitation on the site since at least
the 9th century BCE, but most of the castle buildings actually date to the 16th century - the exception
is St. Margaret's Chapel which was built in the early 12th century, and is in fact the oldest building
in the whole of Edinburgh.
Other noteworthy sites in Edinburgh include the highly distinctive Nelson's Monument (on Calton Hill),
and Arthur's Seat, the latter being an unusual geological formation created from an ancient extinct
volcano eroded by glaciers during the ice ages.
Edinburgh is home to many festivals and events, especially during the Summer months.
Many people have heard of the Edinburgh Fringe (the world's largest arts festival), the Edinburgh
Festival (arts and culture) and Edinburgh International Festival (performing arts). There are also
several other excellent but slightly lower profile festivals: the Edinburgh Art Festival, the Edinburgh
International Film Festival, the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, the Edinburgh International Book Festival,
and the Edinburgh International Science Festival. Additionally, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, a show involving
military bands, pipers, and fireworks takes place nightly for around 3 weeks at the Castle Esplanade during the
summer (buy tickets in advance if you want to attend, all tickets sell out quickly in advance of the tattoo).

The heart of Scotland's capital is a dramatic castle perched on a crag overlooking the city. Beginning at the castle, the Royal Mile inclines downward, offering tourists glimpses of the Queen's Edinburgh residence and other grand sights, as well as pubs, restaurants, and shops. To the castle's south lies medieval Old Town; further south sits New Town, the city's business center and main shopping district. So ancient is Edinburgh that the term "new" covers an area with Georgian structures dating from the 18th century. Large green spaces are prominent in central Edinburgh, and make for excellent strolling and relaxing. The cuisine may not be spectacular, unless you're a fan of haggis, and the weather seems perpetually damp. But Edinburgh's rugged beauty and cosmopolitan sensibility make it an excellent choice for travelers looking beyond London. IgoUgo Travel Report: Edinburgh is not your average travel guide. Every piece of advice found in these pages comes from regular travelers and locals-not paid professionals or PR people-which means pure, unfiltered opinions on what to see (and what to avoid) during your trip. You'll find first-hand details on attractions and day trips, along with restaurant, nightlife, and activity recommendations in all price ranges and for all interests. You'll also see our contributors' original photographs and insider tips on every page-no other travel guide can say that. IgoUgo contributors hail from all over the globe and travel just about everywhere in between. These avid travelers share their adventures and snapshots in online journals at IgoUgo.com, the world's premier web-based travel community. Our 350,000+ members have written over 300,000 journal entries covering more than 4,000 destinations.
