Edinburgh Tapestries

The Hub, at the top of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, is the home of the Edinburgh International Festival, and a central source of information on all the Edinburgh Festivals. Its gothic spire - the highest point in central Edinburgh - towers over the surrounding buildings, including the adjacent castle. The building was designed in collaboration by Edinburgh architect J Gillespie Graham, and the famous gothic revivalist Augustus Pugin, and constructed between 1842 and 1845. The inside houses the Hub Cafe; Hub Tickets, the central box office for the International Festival, which also sells tickets for a wide range of other events; a Main Hall with a capacity of 420, used as a venue for concerts and so on; and two smaller venues.

A shot of Edinburgh Castle from Johnston Terrace. This view lets you see part of the formidable rock upon which it stands. On the right is the Half Moon Battery. Built between 1573-88 on the orders of the Regent Morton after the Lang Seige, The Half Moon battery is an impressive part of the castle's defenses, giving the cannons a wide angel of fire behind tall, sloping unsurmountable walls. Behind the Half Moon Battery is the Royal Palace. The Palace was the official royal residence of the Stewart kings and queens. Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to the future King James VI (and 1st of England) on 19th June 1566 in a small chamber room known as Queen Mary's Room. The Palace is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels.

Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland, taken from Princes Street. The tower is Nelson's Monument which replaced an existing mast on Calton Hill's summit with a signal-tower high enough to be visible to ships on the Forth and commemorates Admiral Lord Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The stone structure is 106 ft high with 143 steps from a base 456 ft above sea level. The really smart aspect of this tower is the time signal installed at its top in 1852 to enable ships' captains to set their chronometers accurately. A large time-ball drops on weekdays, at 12pm in Winter and 1pm in Summer coinciding with the firing of Edinburgh Castle's One o'Clock Gun. BEST VIEWED LARGER

From Glasgow to Edinburgh and across Loch Ness it is well known. You got your Highlands, Lowlands, Islays, Speysides and Campbeltowns. Any old whiskey just won’t do. Come the day’s end, happy hour, or a cocktail party, your liquor of choice must be Scotch. It must be from Scotland. It must be Scottish. Anything else is crap.

PURE DEAD BRILLIANT, a Scots language phrase, which means something or someone isn't just brilliant but 5* brilliant. Also available in black text.

Ramsay Garden and Edinburgh Castle from the Mound in Edinburgh, Scotland. High above Princes Street, nestled beside Edinburgh Castle, there have probably been dwelling houses for well over 1,000 years. The present buildings, however, only go back to a redevelopment in the 18th century. Since there were no official planning controls in those days, there is a delightful mix of architectural styles, including an octagonal “Goose-pie” house built by Allan Ramsay the poet. There is a beautiful spacious flat, with a panoramic 360 degree view, designed by Sir Patrick Geddes (regarded as the “father” of town planning) which was created to encourage the University professors to return to the “Old Town” of Edinburgh.

The Scottish National Gallery And Scott Monument The Scottish National Gallery is the national art gallery of Scotland. It is located on The Mound in central Edinburgh, close to Princes Street. The building was designed in a neoclassical style by William Henry Playfair, and first opened to the public in 1859. The Scott Monument is a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. It is the second largest monument to a writer in the world after the José Martí monument in Havana.

Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh, Scotland. Arthur's Seat is the main peak of the group of hills which form most of Holyrood Park, a remarkably wild piece of highland landscape in the centre of the city of Edinburgh, about a mile to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 251 m (823 feet), provides excellent panoramic views of the city, is quite easy to climb, and is a popular walk. Though it can be climbed from almost any direction, the easiest and simplest ascent is from the East, where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch. Many claim that its name is a derivation of a myriad of legends pertaining to King Arthur, such as the reference in Y Gododdin.
