Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, has a lot to offer to the visitor the whole year round, with Art Galleries, theatres, shopping, and gardens. In August we have the Fringe and International Festivals, the Book and Jazz Festivals, as well as the Military Tattoo. Over Christmas and New Year the city is full of Christmas markets, torchlight parades, street parties and fireworks.
The architecture of the New Town is world class, that of the Royal Mile and Castle is as 'olde worlde' as it gets. The new Parliament building is controversial, built beside Holyrood Palace and Arthur's Seat. The royal yacht Britannia is also worth a visit.
Stockbridge is a lively, cosmopolitan part of the city centre, full of good quality restaurants and bars, There is a wide range of shops, from the simple grocery store to delicatessen, bespoke jewellers, Starbucks ,Nero's and numerous other cafes, within easy reach along Raeburn Place, which is just 50 yards round the corner from the apartment
