Edinburgh

Edinburgh is one of the birthplaces of AI and a vibrant capital city steeped in history. Edinburgh is home to David Hume, Adam Smith, James Clerk Maxwell, Dolly the Sheep, the Higgs' Boson, and countless other scientific achievements.

Edinburgh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing the largest concentration of listed buildings in the UK. Medieval Old Town will win you over with its quaint Scottish pubs and bars, narrow, winding streets and centuries old buildings. The New Town has plenty of shopping opportunities, beautiful Georgian townhouses and fantastic museums. With one dormant volcano, seven hills, clusters of cobbled streets, and tantalizing vistas waiting around every bend, the capital is a fabulous place for a walk!
