dinburgh, Scotland's capital city, is undeniably one of the greenest and architecturally most beautiful cities in Northern Europe. A mecca for tourists with over two million each year coming to visit the heritage of the Royal Mile, the looming 1000 year old castle perched up above the city's streets upon a craggy, steep cliff, its steep city streets, and a city rich in social, cultural, learning and sporting facilities.O

Residents of the city will recognise less well known areas, such as Bruntsfield and Queensferry which hold a particular charm.Click
