English in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, a World Heritage City and home of the world's largest international arts festival. From the city centre you can see the open waters of the Firth of Forth, and within a few miles are the Lothians, an area of beautiful coast and countryside with a rich history which offers the very best of Scotland. The historic city of Edinburgh is set on a series of volcanic hills which form fine viewpoints around the city. The city is made up of two contrasting towns - Old Town and New Town.
About Edinburgh
|
|
Edinburgh is unique among Scotland's cities. Tourism, its proximity to England, and its multicultural population set it apart. There's up-to-the-nanosecond dance clubs in 15th-century buildings and firebreathers outside Georgian mansions: this is a place that knows how to blend ancient and modern.
Its superb architecture ranges from ancient churches to monumental Victorian masterpieces - all dominated by a castle on a precipitous crag in the city's heart. Pick any street to stroll - you'll be wowed by sudden vistas of looming battlements, cold volcanic peaks and hills steeped in memory.
The climate in Edinburgh is best from May to September, but whenever you go, you're likely to see both sun and rain. In summer, daylight hours are long, and the evenings seem endless. In winter, it's cold and daylight hours are short, but with so much going on, Edinburgh is still worth visiting. Note that the city becomes impossibly crowded during the main festival period (August to early September) and Hogmanay (around 1 January), so make reservations well ahead of time if you plan to visit then.
