Visit Edinburgh
The ancient capital city of Scotland is steeped in history and intrigue, and its summer season of non-stop activity is a vital part of the British cultural calendar, making Edinburgh an exciting destination and an experience. In August, Edinburgh hosts the annual International Festival, Fringe Festival and Book Festival to name but a few. Add to this the Military Tattoo and the Blues Festival, and you have some idea why visitors from round the world flock to the city to join in the fun, as do a host of fine entertainers.
Permanent fixtures include the majestic Edinburgh Castle, excellent shopping areas, several museums and three national galleries.
Whether you love classical music and drama or something lighter, there are venues and theatres to cater for all tastes. Talking of taste, Edinburgh also boasts a wealth of bars and restaurants and many lively pubs which offer a friendly welcome and a freshly drawn pint.
