Edinburgh
It hosts the world's biggest arts festival, has a dramatic medieval castle on its main street; can draw on a literary tradition ranging from Burns and Stevenson to Rankin and Rowling; its restaurant scene has both variety and quality, and the Queen is in residence here every summer. Edinburgh also offers fantastic museums, galleries, pubs, interesting shops and some seriously classy hotels. Welcome to the capital of Scotland.
