Its most recognizable landmark, Edinburgh's
Castle towers atop a volcanic crag, its stone walls seemingly a natural
extension of the steep rock below. It has been a royal residence, a military
stronghold and a merciless prison. Meandering down the hill, the cobbled Royal
Mile is a collection of streets and squares peppered with Edinburgh's most
historic buildings, including St.
Giles Cathedral, parts of which are nearly 1,000 years old. The road ends
at the Palace
of Holyroodhouse, the city's second famous manor, once home to Mary, Queen
of Scots. On the Palace's grounds is an ancient Augustinian Abbey
where the Queen's two marriages were held, and Arthur's
Seat is the city's highest point.
As the country's capital, Edinburgh protects its most important artifacts.
The National
Galleries of Scotland exhibit more than 20,000 pieces of European paintings
and sculpture, and the Royal
Museum of Scotland traces the country's history from millions of years ago.
Attracting thousands of visitors yearly, the Edinburgh
International Festival showcases the arts, illustrating the city's ability
to inspire and sustain the human spirit.
