Edinburgh
As the administrative, historical, cultural and artistic centre of Scotland, it is easy to understand why Edinburgh has been designated a World Heritage Site by Unesco! It is a city of great contrasts, once the royal residence in the 11C, and then recreated at the end of the 18C, all this to a backdrop of a variety of cultural activities including the famous International Arts Festival of Edinburgh held every year.
