Edinburgh (see pp56–85) is the capital of
Scotland. Between its medieval castle and
the Palace of Holy roodhouse stretches
the Royal Mile. Here, the historic
sights range from the old Scottish
Parliament buildings to the house of
John Knox. By contrast, Georgian terraces
predominate in the New Town.
