Edinburgh
EDINBURGH - BEST RESTAURANTS
Introduction
Edinburgh, Scotland's lovely and conservative kilt capital with its landmarks the Edinburgh Castle, where the world-famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo takes place every year in August, and the old railway hotel Balmoral. In August the cocoon becomes a butterfly: The annual international dance, jazz and drama festival the fringe with over 600 artists from all over the world takes place. Last but not least, if you like the "finer things" in live, there is no "finer way" to explore the Scottish Highlands than with the Royal Scotsman a restored vintage train. Have a glass of Whisky and taste a piece of the finest Scottish Walkers shortbread...that's magic!
