A castle on a volcano, the Royal Mile and the world’s largest arts festival.
Edinburgh’s medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town are both UNESCO-listed: the castle above Princes Street, closes along the Royal Mile and the hike up Arthur’s Seat. In August the Fringe turns the city into one big stage; St Andrews and Stirling make easy day trips.
