Visitem Edimburg, l'agost del 2004 i coincidim amb el Festival Internacional, que segons els organitzadors és el més important del món, doncs acudeixen milers d'artistes del teatre, cinema, música, etc. Durant el festival la ciutat viu als carrers l'enrenou de les carrosses, desfilades i actuacions teatrals. Val la pena veure-ho.Edimburg és la capital i segona ciutat més gran d'Escòcia (500.000 habitants) i únicament separada de Glasgow, la més populosa, per 70 quilòmetres d'una excel·lent autopista. És l'única ciutat a la que la UNESCO ha reconegut com Patrimoni de la Humanitat, dos centres urbans: L'Old Town i el New Town.Destaca el Castell de Edimburg situat en el cim del Castle Rock, des on domina la ciutat. Des del castell fins al palau de Holyroodhouse, transcorre la famosa Royal Mile, via urbana plena d'edificis emblemàtics que forma l'eix vertebral de l'Old Town. Al palau de Holyroodhouse, va passar gran part de la seva vida Maria Estuardo, reina dels escocesos, executada per la seva prima, Isabel I de Anglaterra. Aquest palau és la seu de l'actual reina d'Anglaterra quan visita Escòcia. Val la pena passejar pels carrers de l'Old Town, Victòria Street, Parliament Hall, visitar el monument a Sir Walter Scott, la casa on va viure Robert Louis Stevenson.Princes Street, és la via més comercial d'Edimburg i un dels límits del New Town. Aquesta zona d'Edimburg, es va construir per solucionar problemes de superpoblació de l'Old Town, separada d'aquest pels Princes Gardens, d'aquesta zona neoclàssica de la ciutat destaquen Charlotte Square, George Street i Queen Street.Visites recomanades al Castell d'Edimburg, Catedral de Saint Giles, Nacional Gallery i com, no entrar en algun dels seus formidables pubs.
