It is home to the Scottish Parliament and, with its festivals, the city turns into the cultural capital of the world every August. Edinburgh's entire urban area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

Edinburgh's origins date back to the Bronze and Iron Ages, and the city developed around a castle built on a steep cliff. It was only accessible from the east and the other sides were protected by the natural terrain. Today, one of the city's attractions - Edinburgh Castle - stands on the hill. A mile away - just to the east, is the royal residence of Holyrood built on the ruins of the former abbey of the same name. The stretch between the buildings is known as the Royal Mile, which tourists enjoy walking along. Today's Edinburgh is not only the capital of Scotland. It is also a modern university city, a cultural mecca thanks to its internationally renowned festivals, and a well-kept city frequented by tourists.
