About Edinburgh

From the imposing site that is Edinburgh Castle, which dominates the city’s skyline, to the newly developed chic waterfront at Leith Docks, Edinburgh has a smorgasbord of offerings that will satisfy all tastes and travel styles. From the castle, you can take the Royal Mile through the Old Town, which is juxtaposed at the opposite end with the new Scottish Parliament building, designed by the late Spanish architect Enric Miralles. On the way there are lots of bars and restaurants where you can sample the world-famous Scottish food and drink - smoked salmon, Aberdeen Angus beef and a tipple (or two!) of Scotch whisky.
