The capital city of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. It is located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth’s southern shore, on the east side of the country.

Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, the city is home to the Scottish Parliament and the seat of the monarchy in Scotland. Historically part of Midlothian, the city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, the sciences and engineering.

It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom and the city’s historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom’s second most popular tourist destination, attracting over one million overseas visitors each year.
