Edinburgh, as the capital of Scotland, is located on the south bank of Foces Bay, a lowland in central Scotland, with a latitude of 55 degrees north, which is farther north than Mohe, the northernmost city in China. Edinburgh has a history of 693 years, but it still retains the "most classic" Scottish style, including many world-famous old churches and gorgeous Victorian architecture. Edinburgh's architecture as a whole is dominated by "lead black", which, despite its experience in the world, gives people a unique and exquisite charm. It was once known as "Athens in the North". In 20 12, it was awarded the title of "Best Tourism Destination in Europe" by the World Tourism Federation.
Historically, Edinburgh was once the capital of the independent kingdom of Scotland. The city's most famous main road, Royal Mile, connects Edinburgh's most historic "Edinburgh Castle" and "Hollywood Palace".
Edinburgh Castle is located on the top of an extinct volcano granite with a height of 1.20 meters in the city center, overlooking the whole city. From the 6th century to the 6th century, it was once the most important royal residence and national administrative center. Now it has been transformed into the Scottish National War Museum and the Scottish United Army Museum.
/kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, the Hollywood Palace was completed, which became the main residence of the former king and queen of Scotland, and was also used for holding important royal or official events. Today, Queen Elizabeth still spends a week in Holiday Palace every summer. Holiday Palace and Edinburgh Castle have witnessed many wars and sieges together.
My favorite romantic movie One Day is set in Edinburgh. The first scene of the film is overlooking the night view of Edinburgh from Carlton Mountain, and the film ends in the barren hill of Arthur's throne in Edinburgh.
August is a very famous international art festival in Edinburgh every year, when top musicians from all over the world will come to Edinburgh to perform. Also in August, there will be a very famous military music festival and fringe art festival. In short, Edinburgh will stage countless concerts, talk shows, magic and dramas every day, which is definitely an "art carnival".
Moreover, literary lovers can come to Edinburgh and follow in the footsteps of celebrities such as Conan Doyle and J·K· Rowling. For example, Harry Potter was born in the elephant house on Marshall Street in Edinburgh, which attracted many fans to punch in.
