EDINBURGH.

1. Nearly 400 miles north of London stands Edinburgh - the old capital of Scotland.

Edinburgh is a city of opposites - beautiful and ugly, culture-loving and philistine.

In the Old Town the tenements contain the worst slums in .Europe, while in the New Town you can see classical churches, banks and buildings like Greek temples. The prettiest street is Princes Street.

2. The chief ornament of this street is the Scott monument commemorating the life and work of Sir Walter Scott, the first historical novelist of the English language. History is represented by the Castle, the Royal Mint*. The Art Gallery is an ancient building in classic style containing the country's historic art treasures.

Edinburgh is no longer the political capital of Scotland, nor is it the largest city in Scotland. It is surpassed by Glasgow which has a population of over one million.

3. Edinburgh has been the home of men of letters* and scientists for many centuries.

In the 2nd half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th it was the centre of a cultural renaissance.

In literature the Romantic Movement had one of its origins in the works of Byron and Walter Scott, the renaissance reached its height in the revolutionary songs and poems of the people's poet and national hero, Robert Burns.

Since World War II, the cultural high point of Scottish life has been the annual Edinburgh Festival of Music and Drama.

3. The castle is the centre of Edinburgh. Built on a great volcanic rock, it can be seen from all parts of the city. The oldest part is the beautiful and simple little Norman chapel dedicated to Queen Margaret. The history of the castle is almost a history of Scotland and this is reflected in many rooms, such as Queen Mary's room and James IV's Great Hall; which displays the weaponry. The Wax Museum contains models of the famous people in Scottish history. Children of all ages will be impressed by the rich collection of toys, books, games, dolls and dolls' houses.
