Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, reflects the history, culture and personality of the nation. From the first view of the Castle - with its dramatic tales of siege, warfare and dark deeds - to the bohemian restaurants and bars of the port of Leith, Edinburgh represents the essence of Scotland, its history and its modern day nationhood. Further out from the city, Edinburgh is bordered by the seawaters of the Firth of Forth to the north, and the Pentland Hills in the south, while to the east and west lie the Lothians: an area with many interesting towns, a fine coastline and attractive countryside. Places of great historical importance include the remains of Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. | | Custom Trip Quote to Edinburgh & East Lothian | | | | | | | | | | |
