   Edinburgh Travel Information

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland located on the southern edge of the enormous Firth (River) of Forth. From the west end, beyond craggy Arthur's Seat and over the waters of the Firth of Forth, you will see the Old and New Towns. To the north of the city center is Leith, Edinburgh's main port, which has shed its rough, waterfront image to become a fashionable area of pubs and restaurants. Leith Links is a favorite with golfers. Portobello to the east is where Edinburgh's citizens and summer visitors spend time on the beach. To the west, medieval South Queensferry sits in the shadow of two large bridges that span the Firth of Forth. To the south, near Holyrood Park, is picturesque Duddingston. The attractive streets of Duddingston run down to a loch which is part of a bird sanctuary. The medieval Old Town coexists with the elegant Georgian architecture of the New Town under the ominous eye of the city’s romantic and mysterious ancient castle.
