Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, has a gloomy urban style. Is this your favorite city?

Britain used to be an empire where the sun never sets, but now it is no longer its former glory. Among British cities, the most famous is London, which is the largest tourist city, and the second largest tourist city is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Perhaps many people have never heard of this city. Edinburgh is the city that can best reflect the Scottish style, and its urban style is unique.

Scotland is an independent kingdom in history and has been occupied and ruled by Britain for hundreds of years. Glasgow, the largest city, is an important industrial town in Scotland, and Edinburgh, the second largest city with a population of about 500,000, is the seat of Scottish self-government. Among Scottish cities, Edinburgh is more attractive than Glasgow, although some people don't like the style of this city.

Edinburgh is located on the south bank of the Firth of Forth in Scotland, covering an area of 260 square kilometers. Founded in 1329 with a population of 500,000. Its economy mainly depends on the financial industry, and it is the second largest financial center in Britain outside London. Although it is the seventh largest city in Britain, its unique culture and history support the strength of Scotland.

Local writers praised: "There is no better place to be called the first in the kingdom". Edinburgh has a long history, many historical buildings are well preserved, and there are no tall buildings in the city. Edinburgh's old town and new town are listed as world heritage sites by UNESCO.

The city doesn't look very big, just like a county town in China. There are houses in King George's time along the street. The buildings in this city are generally gloomy, and the cloudy climate gives people a gloomy feeling. I believe many people don't like this urban style very much, but it is suitable for filming vampires and the like.

Edinburgh Castle is located on the granite top of an extinct volcano and can be seen in every corner of the city center. Edinburgh Castle was built in the 6th century A.D. It has been the royal castle in Scotland from the 2nd century A.D. 12 to the 6th century A.D. 16, ranking the highest among all the castles in Britain. Standing on the castle overlooking the city is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Scotland.

The ancient city with modern trams walks through all kinds of old buildings, giving people a special feeling. The Edinburgh tram started operation in May 20 14, with a total length of 14 km, running between Edinburgh Airport and St. Andrew's Square in the city center. You can enjoy the city slowly by tram.

Every summer, Edinburgh hosts the largest art festival in the world, and artistic activities in the city come one after another. The streets are crowded with tourists from different cultural backgrounds all over the world, and the number of tourists is more than the population of Edinburgh. Do you like this city?
