Edinburgh

A dramatic landscape coupled with a rich history makes the Scottish capital a city to remember. Explore the city’s heritage at the Museum of Scotland, and wander from Edinburgh Castle to St. Giles Cathedral, and Arthur’s Seat. The annual Festival Fringe is the world’s largest arts festival, and sees the city’s cobbled streets transformed into an open-air stage attracting performers and spectators from across the globe. As well as having the strongest economy of any city in the UK outside London, Edinburgh is home to multiple banks’ and financial services companies’ headquarters, making it a thriving centre for international business and commerce.
