Edinburgh

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, the United Kingdom. Edinburgh's relatively buoyant economy, traditionally centred on banking and insurance but now encompassing a wide range of businesses, makes it the biggest financial centre in the UK after London. The city has long been known abroad as a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, the sciences and engineering. There are four universities and numerous colleges in Edinburgh with students making up around one-fifth of the population.
