About Edinburgh - Edinburgh has one of the most beautiful cityscapes in the world, making it the ideal city break destination. With Scotland's most famous castle dominating the city skyline, there is plenty to see and do with the perfect balance between all things traditional and contemporary. Scotland's capital city sits in perfect contrast to the peaceful tranquility of the surrounding Lothians region.
Shopping - Edinburgh is not only all about traditions and cultural mix, the place is a shoppers paradise with variety of shops and malls giving the city a shoppers friendly destination. Edinburgh's shops are not only best known for traditional Scottish souvenirs and upmarket goods, food products in particular. But an increasing number of fashion boutiques, music shops, and other design stores opens a wide choice for visitors to get an array of appealing things.
Things to do - Although Second in size to its west coast neighbour Glasgow, the population doubles in size during the International Edinburgh Festival with events covering four weeks from early August. The dramatic landscape, stunning architecture, and rich cultural history in science, philosophy and art from the enlightenment onwards has resulted in Edinburgh being dubbed the ‘Athens of the North’..
