Edinburgh, Scottish Christmas

Edinburgh_hotels


It's no lie to say that Edinburgh is everyone's favourite city in the British Isles. The capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is cultured, attractive and charming.Edinburgh is best-known for two huge annual events. If you like a party and don't mind crowds, come for New Year - Hogmanay to the Scots. More than 100,000 people pack the city centre for a four-day celebration that is one of the most spectacular New Year parties in the world. The second busy season is in August and September when the Edinburgh Festival and Edinburgh Fringe turn the city into a cultural paradise, and temporarily triple the population. Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Royal Mile are all world class attractions. Edinburgh itself is breathtakingly beautiful, on multiple levels with storeyed buildings in brooding grey granite. Meanwhile, south of the city centre Arthur's Seat raises its distinctive bulk, and just outside the city limits you have the natural attractions of thePentland hills, real Scottish moorland. Early booking is the best way to get cheap accommodation in Edinburgh.

  2. Edinburgh is my favourite travel destination. I had my holiday of a lifetime there two years ago when my wife and I went for the Hogmanay celebration. It was spectacular, the atmosphere and Scottish spirit are absolutely unique.
