The Jurys Inn Quick Guide To Edinburgh
The volcanoes that Edinburgh sits on may be extinct, but you can’t hope to visit this picturesque city without experiencing some serious tremors of the excitement kind. More people travel to the UK to see Edinburgh than any other destination apart from London. A million a year, in fact. A government poll rates it as the UK’s most desirable city to live in. They can’t all be wrong!

The Edinburgh International Festival Military Tattoo Christmas and Hogmanay Edinburgh Castle Shopping on Princes Street Arthur's Seat & Holyrood Park
Edinburgh will initially strike the first-timer with its architectural beauty. The winding streets of the old town, the soft tones of the sandstone buildings and the sheer impressiveness of the castle at the top end of the Royal Mile immediately set the city apart. It’s a city that loves its festivals too, and from July to September the city becomes one big stage, showcasing the greatest theatrical, comedic and performing talent on Earth. The Edinburgh Fringe, which started out modestly as the name suggests, is now the largest comedy festival in the world. And at the other end of the year, Hogmanay’s annual New Year celebrations last for days, although the memories last a lot longer.
Edinburgh knows how to have fun, and it knows how to make visitors feel important in the process. Its rich history, its strong economy and the outlying scenery around the incredibly beautiful Forth of Firth are reason enough to put Edinburgh top of your list, but when you add the warmth of the locals, it seals the deal.
