Calton Hill
Come on Down to the Festival City
Boasting a spectacular skyline, offering up some of the freshest Scottish produce available, and with an atmosphere prickling with electricity, Edinburgh is certainly deserving of its accolade as most popular place to live in the UK. Add to that its flourishing cultural scene and magnificent historical background, and it’s easy to see why so many visitors flock to the Scottish capital each year.
Located in the south east of Scotland and filled with a jumble of medieval and Georgian architecture, Edinburgh has an unparalleled range of attractions and sites of interest to soak up. From the Royal Mile, Princes Street and Holyrood House to Arthur’s Seat and the Botanic Gardens, there is something to tickle everyone’s fancy.
However, what truly makes the Capital a leader in the cultural stakes is its unparalleled annual events programme. Packed full of activities, exhibitions, live performances and festivals, it is a veritable treasure trove just waiting to be discovered!
World famous, and responsible for attracting nearly 500,000 people annually, the Edinburgh International Festival is the city’s crowning glory. Established in 1949, it has grown to become one of the most recognised arts celebrations and is best described as a medley of official and independent events running concurrently throughout August. Of particular interest are the Fringe Festival, Military Tattoo and International Book Festival.
The Beltane Fire Festival is another event well worth experiencing. Taking place in April, it is designed to mark the start of summer and involves a large procession around Calton Hill, as well as a number of dramatic performances. There are over 300 entertainers involved whilst around 12,000 people attend each year.
Doors Open Days are a great way to explore the city and offer up the chance to experience an alternative side to Edinburgh. Every weekend in September, a number of buildings not normally available to the public or that usually charge entry fees, open their doors and let visitors in for free. Currently in its 19th year, the event also allows you to learn about the history of the buildings and their significance to the city.
Cited as the world’s largest winter festival, Hogmanay is definitely one of the most exciting events happening in Edinburgh. Designed to bring in the New Year with style, it is a collection of street parties, live performances and music, all topped off with an impressive fireworks display at the end of the night.
There is so much to see and do in the Scottish capital, that one trip is never enough. And, with such a packed cultural programme, you can always find something new to experience, regardless of how many times you’ve visited. This, coupled with the range of hearty Scots bars, exquisite eateries and fantastic hotels in Edinburgh, is certain to ensure your time there is memorable.
