The Palace of Holyroodhouse Every year the Queen comes to Edinburgh for her Garden Party, a very grand occasion. Anyone who is interested in Edinburgh�s history, the monarchy or appreciates beautiful buildings will enjoy this. Located at the foot of the Royal Mile opposite the Parliament building.

Scottish Parliament There is great debate about this building which went millions over budget to construct. Many people find it an eyesore which does not blend into the historic buildings surrounding it, others disagree. Either way, it is well worth a visit.

Central Library, George IV Bridge. A historic building housing many ancient books and an excellent range of more modern titles.

Princes Street has Edinburgh�s most upmarket department stores, Jenners and Harvey Nichols.

Colinton Fifteen minutes drive from the city centre, this does not feel as though it is part of the capital. It has a historic old church and churchyard which definitely give the village feel to this place.
