    Edinburgh

    Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and its second largest city, after Glasgow. Edinburgh is 45miles away from Glasgow, 15 from Livingston and 100 miles from Carlisle and Aberdeen.

    It is in the south-east of Scotland, on the east coast of Scotland's "Central Belt", on the south

    shore of the Firth of Forth, on the North Sea and, because of its rugged setting and vast collection

    of Medieval and Georgian architecture including numerous stone tenements, it is one of the most

    dramatic cities in Europe. It forms the City of Edinburgh council area; the city council area

    includes urban Edinburgh and a 30sq mile rural area.

    It has been the capital of Scotland since 1437 (replacing Scone) and is the seat of the Scottish

    Parliament. The city was one of the major centres of the Enlightenment, led by the University ofEdinburgh, gaining the nickname Athens of the North. The Old Town and New Town districts of

    Edinburgh were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. There are over 4,500 listed

    buildings within the city. In the census of 2001, Edinburgh had a total resident population of

    448,624.

    Edinburgh is well-known for the annual Edinburgh Festival, a collection of official and

    independent festivals held annually over about four weeks from early August. The number of

    visitors attracted to Edinburgh for the Festival, is roughly equal to the settled population of the

    city. The most famous of these events are the Edinburgh Fringe (the largest performing arts

    festival in the world), the Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, andthe

    Edinburgh International Film Festival.

    Other notable events include the Hogmanay street party (31 December), Burns Night (25

    January), St. Andrew's Day (November 30), and the Beltane celebrations (30 April).

    The city is one of Europe's major tourist destinations, attracting roughly 13 million visitors a year,

    and is the second most visited tourist destination in the United Kingdom, after London.
