Scotland - Edinburgh - Things To Do, See

Welcome to my blog for the third time 👋👋. Today's post will be about the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. I will present you places worth seeing in the magical capital of Scotland.

Little Bit About Edinburgh

Gael. Dùn Éideann, A city in Great Britain with a population of over 500,000. Since 1999, the city has been the seat of the Scottish Parliament. Edinburgh is much smaller than Glasgow, although it is much more often visited by tourists or even for leisure by local people. It was in Edinburgh that the Harry Potter novel was created, whether the outstanding actor Sean Connery also came from there.

Things To Do/See in Edinburgh

- Royal Mile - 

It is a historic street that is worth walking through because of its nature and the number of streets, alleys that used to be teeming with life, leaving behind great views for fans of photos.

- Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens -
 

The castle is situated on a hill overlooking Edinburgh. Every day at 1 p.m. you can hear and see a shot from the local military cannon. In addition, you can visit the castle from the inside, where the museum is located, and numerous artifacts from earlier years. Below the castle is Princess Street Garden, which can be used as a stopover and as a rest, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery. An interesting fact is that in this garden there is an annual Christmas Market.

- Museums - National Museum of Scotland
and Scottish National Gallery - 

Another attraction worth visiting are the free museums with exhibits depicting the world at the turn of the centuries. The museums are completely free, it is worth spending a few hours visiting them because you can see many works of many renowned artists here.

Other Things To Do/See

In addition to the places I have listed above, Edinburgh has a lot more to offer that are worth visiting, such as:
