One of the most glorious cities you can ever hope to visit, Edinburgh pulsates with a fusion of the ancient and the modern, the whimsical and the enlightened, the cerebral and the visceral. As loved now as it has been down the centuries, it is a city of contrasts and contradictions, adored internationally for its melancholic beauty, literary pedigree, bloody history, gastronomy and culture.
The novelist Alexander McCall Smith wrote that: "This is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again."
