A bold tribute to the Athens of the North and Castle City on the Volcanic Rock where Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and one of the most dramatically situated capital cities in the world, is built around the volcanic Castle Rock on which Edinburgh Castle has stood since at least the 12th century, commanding the surrounding landscape from a height of 130 metres and visible for miles across the Forth estuary, where the Royal Mile descending from the Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse through the Old Town of medieval tenements, closes, and wynds, and the elegant Georgian New Town planned from 1767 onward in a grid of neoclassical streets and squares, together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary architectural contrast and historical depth, where Edinburgh earned its nickname as the Athens of the North during the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century when philosophers, scientists, and economists including David Hume, Adam Smith, James Watt, and Joseph Black made Edinburgh one of the intellectual capitals of Europe, where the Edinburgh Festival, the world's largest arts festival held each August, transforms the city into the greatest gathering of theatrical, musical, and comedic talent on earth, and where Arthur's Seat, the ancient volcanic hill rising within the city's Holyrood Park, provides Edinburgh with a wild Highland landscape at its very heart.
