City - Edinburgh
Built on the
remains of a volcano, Edinburgh Castle provides a stunning skyline
for Scotland’s capital city, in which history and modernity sit
side by side. Travel back in time to the room where Mary Queen of
Scots gave
birth to James I of England. Travel back still further and experience
earthquakes and tropical storms with a visit to Our Dynamic Earth, a
tented amphitheatre that charts the evolution of Earth from its early
beginnings. Work up an appetite with a stroll to Arthur’s Seat
then bring yourself back to the present with lunch and retail therapy
along Princes Street, world famous for its shops.
The Arts –
Edinburgh has seven regular venues offering plays, musicals, opera
and dance. During the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival (see below),
the Fringe halls, schools and even the streets are brought into
service too in a vibrant celebration of the performing arts.
Forthcoming
productions include Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons
Dangereuse, and Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story. |
