Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. It is the second-largest city in the nation and boasts a population of 448,624. It is located in the east of the country and is, along with the Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, part of the Scottish Central Belt. The city of Edinburgh is divided into two distinct areas, the Old Town (its historical epicentre) and the New Town (the city’s main shopping and commercial area). The Old Town includes picturesque cobbled streets, period monuments and many wonderful cathedrals and churches from throughout its long and vibrant history. The most notable landmark of Edinburgh is undeniably Edinburgh Castle, located overlooking the city on Castle Rock, it dominates the city’s skyline.
The castle is open to the public and includes a number of museums too. The Scottish Parliament is the national unicameral legislature of Scotland, in the capital Edinburgh. The original Parliament of Scotland merged in 1707 with the Parliament of England, through the Act of Union, to form the Parliament of Great Britain. The current parliament was established by the Scotland Act 1998. The first meeting of the new parliament as a devolved legislature was on 12 May 1999. Each year Edinburgh hosts a number of major festivals, none more famous than the Edinburgh International Festival, which takes place from August to early September each year.
