More About Edinburgh
Overview
Edinburgh, pronounced Eh-din-brah, has been the Scottish capital since the 15th century. One of the historic areas of Edinburgh is the Royal Mile, with cobblestones connecting Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. There is a medieval marketplace, Grassmarket, with shops offering traditional gifts and local Scottish pubs.
Edinburgh Castle has a rich history of royalty and is home to the Honours of Scotland, known informally as the Scottish Crown Jewels, which are on display for public viewing. The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art offers three galleries, one of which has the best art collections in the world. The National Museum of Scotland provides an opportunity to learn about the natural world of cultures, fashion, science, and technology.
Visit Calton Hill Historic Monument to capture panoramic views of Edinburgh. The skyline of Endinburgh features a unique landscape of hills that make up Holyrood Park, with the highest point, Arthur’s Seat, formed by a volcano. A hidden gem located just outside the city is Lauriston Castle, which sits on 30 acres of parkland and gardens, allowing you to reflect.
Planner
Scotland’s reliably inclement weather means that you could visit at the height of summer and be forced to wear a scarf. Conversely, conditions can be balmy in early spring and late autumn. You may want to avoid the crowds during July and August, but you’d also miss the famed Edinburgh International Festival and other summer celebrations. May, June, and September are probably the most hassle-free months in which to visit. Short days make winter less appealing, but Edinburgh’s New Year celebrations are justly renowned.
