Information about EDINBURGH The setting of Scotland�s capital city could not be more striking. Located in the Lothians, on the east coast of Scotland, Edinburgh is pearched on a number of extinct volcano cones and rocky crags and has a brooding, chilly beauty unequalled anywhere in Britain. Edinburgh has been inhabited since around 1500 BC, making it one of the longest continuously inhabited places in northern Europe. The city grew in importance and, by the end of the 15th century, was established as Scotland�s capital. Scotland�s links with England became closer after 1603, when James VI of Scotland became James I of England, effectively uniting the two crowns. In 1707, the Act of Union (uniting the Scottish and English parliaments) knocked a nail into the coffin of Scotland�s independence, although Scotland retained its own Church and separate legal and educational systems. However, with the re-introduction of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, Edinburgh has become a centre of political power once again. After London, it is the most important financial centre in Britain. The city also has four universities. Although it is more conservative than other Scottish cities, Edinburgh is still an exciting, forward-looking capital, full of art, culture, history and beauty. It has manifold art galleries and museums, five major performing-arts theatres and a year-round calendar of international festivals. The city has successfully established itself as a leading international centre for business, finance, education and industry.
