About Edinburgh
Scotland’s capital city appears on many “Must Visit” or “Top City Break” destination lists with its combination of iconic landmarks, fascinating history and energetic, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Also known as “The Athens of the North”, Edinburgh is a city of contrasts: the medieval Old Town around Edinburgh Castle and The Royal Mile, with cobbled streets and small closes contrasts with the Georgian splendour of the planned New Town with wide avenues and beautiful Georgian architecture. This combination of rich history and stunning architecture earned Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns official UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Edinburgh is a compact city and The Edinburgh Residence’s enviable location in the New Town is a perfect base to explore the delights of Edinburgh’s world famous attractions, galleries, gardens and 4,500 listed buildings.

Edinburgh is also well known for its festivals and events held throughout the year. The most famous being the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival both held in August when the population of the city almost doubles.
