| Famous
for its special history, Edinburgh is awash with
cultural highlights. As
a university town the population is overwhelmingly
young so we don't suffer
during the winter like other cities, there's always
lots to do. For those who
love nature and sports, there are many day trips
you can take from here,
Portobello beach is just a few miles away and the
amazing countryside of the
Highlands is a short train ride.
