Edinburgh Capital
Edinburgh, Scotland’s Historic Capital
Edinburgh is Scotland’s historic capital and one of Europe’s most characterful cities, blending dramatic architecture, rich history and a vibrant modern culture. From the medieval Old Town and the Royal Mile to the elegant Georgian New Town, the city offers a striking contrast of narrow closes, grand avenues and world-famous landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle.
George Street sits at the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town and is known for its wide boulevard, neoclassical buildings, boutique shopping, restaurants and stylish bars. It’s a popular central point for exploring the city, well placed between Princes Street and Queen Street, and an ideal location for meeting, dining or beginning a wider journey beyond the capital into the Scottish Highlands.
