    Edinburgh

    Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. 

    The city was historically part of the county of Midlothian,but was administered separately
    from the surrounding county from 1482 onwards. It is located in Lothian on the southern
    shore of the Firth of Forth. 

    Edinburgh is Scotland's second-most populous city after Glasgow, and the seventh-most


    populous city in the United Kingdom.

    Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat
    of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the highest courts in Scotland.
    The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the British monarchy in
    Scotland.

    The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is
    the official residence of the British
    monarchy in Scotland. 
    The city has long been a centre of
    education, particularly in the fields of
    medicine, Scottish law, literature,
    philosophy, the sciences, and engineering.
    It is the second-largest financial centre in
    the United Kingdom, and the city's
    historical and cultural attractions have
    made it the UK's second-most visited
    tourist destination attracting 4.9 million
    visits, including 2.4 million from overseas
    in 2018. 
    Time Out magazine rated Edinburgh the
    best city in the world in 2022.
    Edinburgh occupies some 7 miles (11 km) of north-facing slope
    between the Pentland Hills and the broad Firth of Forth estuary,
    where it merges with the once-independent seaport of Leith.
    Upthrusts of lava punctuate this slope.
    One of them, called Arthur’s Seat, the centrepiece of the royal
    park, has an elevation of 823 feet (251 metres) and dominates the
    city’s southeastern flank. The valleys between these striking hills
    were scoured deep and clean by glacial action in the Pleistocene
    Epoch.
    Edinburgh has been built on top of and around these obstacles so
    that the nearer one comes to the city centre, the more spectacular
    is the juxtaposition of natural and built environment, with terraces
    of stone confronting soaring thrust.
    The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national cultural institutions such as
    the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. 
    The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of three in the city, is considered one of the best research institutions in the
    world, most recently placing 15th in the QS World University Rankings for 2023. 
    The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts
    festival. 
    Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate,
    and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as
    a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999.
