MORE ABOUT EDINBURGH
Capital city of Scotland since 1492, Edinburgh has been described as the 'Athens of the North' principally for the addition, in the 19th century, of buildings modelled on ancient Athenian architecture. And just like the Greek capital, it has the hills to go with the buildings. Still, it was variously the 'Golden Age' or 'Age of Englightenment' of the late 18th, early 19th century, that put Edinburgh on the world map. The place was simply bursting with talent and accomplishment. The likes of novelist Sir Walter Scott, poet Robert Burns, biographer James Boswell, political economist Adam Smith and engineer Thomas Telford all in one place at the same time. It's a grand city legacy which surrounds the visitor to this day.
