Welcome to <strong>Edinburgh</strong>, <strong>Scotland</strong><br />

<strong>Edinburgh</strong>, the Capital City of <strong>Scotland</strong> is a city filled with historical sights and stories. The Old Town was<br />

developed from the 11th century, originally within defensive walls, around the rock on whose peak is<br />

situated the famed <strong>Edinburgh</strong> Castle. From here, the historic Royal Mile sweeps down to the Palace of<br />

Holyrood House, the Queen's official royal residence in <strong>Scotland</strong>. The new Scottish Parliament building<br />

is also situated near Holyrood House at the bottom of the Royal Mile. There are also many art galleries<br />

located around the city.<br />

Princes Street and George Street are the main shopping areas in the city centre and there are a large<br />

number of restaurants in the city centre. An essential guide of <strong>Edinburgh</strong> is included in delegate bags to<br />
