Standing on seven hills of history, the marvelous city of Edinburgh is situated in Scotland’s Central Belt. Located on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, Edinburgh proudly lies 26 miles inland from the east coast of this picturesque country, away from the cold breeze of the North Sea. Edinburgh is a marriage of the wonderful combination of both city and coastline, where visitors can marvel at the historic city sights and gorgeous beaches. However, if you wish to taste the more rural and rustic Scotland, Edinburgh is also located near the towns of Falkirk and Stirling, in addition to having several rail services to Glasgow and St Andrews.
