The royal castle is on the top of a cliff, at the foot of which a lake of sewage once swayed, and now a vast park pleases the eye with greenery. The long street known as the Royal Mile connects the castle with Holyroodhouse Palace, the abode of Mary Stuart. Princes Street with its many shops. Rose Street, otherwise known as pub street, the ever-busy Grassmarket, Calton Hill with the Nelson Monument, the Observatory and the “northern Parthenon” - a colonnade in honor of the victories of the Duke of Wellington... All this is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and a real monument city, as if frozen in time and yet surprisingly alive and always beautiful - in the typical Scottish drizzle and, of course, in the rays of the sun. This is a city you can't help but fall in love with. Welcome to Edinburgh!
