About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and looks like a fantasy novel — castle on a hill, cobblestone streets, underground vaults, and whisky bars on every corner. The Royal Mile is touristy but worth it, the New Town has Georgian elegance, and the festivals in August take over the whole city. Bring layers; weather is unpredictable.
- •Edinburgh Castle (book ahead, lines are brutal)
- •Arthur's Seat hike for panoramic views
