Edinburgh
Home to just under 500,000 people, Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city. However, don’t let its small size deceive you, Edinburgh’s population swells to more than double this when people come from all over the world for the summer festivals. During the month of August everything from small side-street venues to large concert halls brim with artists and festival goers. This is because Edinburgh is home to the world’s largest arts festival – the Festival Fringe! New Year is also an amazing time of year to visit Edinburgh when the Hogmanay celebrations take place and we play host to some of the world’s biggest parties!
