About Edinburgh
Edinburgh [eh'din bu ru] is the
capital and second largest city of Scotland. It
stands on the hills south of the Firth of Forth,
and was named for Edwin of Northumbria, an
Anglican king who built a fort here in the 600's.
It has been the capital of Scotland since 1437. |
Edinburgh Castle
is an ancient fortress which
dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh,
and which is Scotland's second most visited
landmark. It is the official headquarters of the
Royal Regiment of Scotland and the 52nd Infantry
Brigade, as well as home to the regimental museum
of the Royal Scots and Royal Scots Dragoon
Guards. |
