If you enjoy breaks in the countryside the landscape ranges from masses of astonishing coastal destinations to mountains and woodlands found further inland perfect for ramblers, mountain climbers, hill-walkers, hikers. Below I introduce Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.
Edinburgh features some of the most interesting galleries and museums in the whole of the UK and accessible from the city is an impressive collection of castles, fortified houses, historical buildings and country homes which are well worth a visit. Edinburgh is a city which is composed of two parts, the Old and the New Towns, which are immensely different, but both are a World Heritage Site.
Even though it is the capital city it is surprisingly green and within a short distance you will discover yourself amid the most beautiful countryside. Two of the best green areas in the heart of the city are the Royal Botanic Gardens and Princes Street Gardens. Situated along Princes Street you will find the usual high street shops, in the West End you will find funky boutiques, in the New Town you will discover plenty of designer products and in the Old Town there are lots of independent merchants, artisans and designers.
