Moving to Scotland, here is the capital, Edinburgh. It is the location of
the Scottish Parliament and has a population of almost 500,000:

Edinburgh has many imposing stone buildings, such as the Balmoral Hotel, above
Edinburgh Waverley Station. It opened as the North British Station Hotel in 1902.
Ever since, the clock has been three minutes' fast, to help passengers avoid
missing trains.


The Melville Monument (1823), commemorating powerful aristocrat,
Nenry Dundas, Viscount Melville. It is 42.6 metres high and weighs
1,500 tons.


Opened in May 2014, and well over budget, is the Edinburgh Tram, which operates from
the centre of the City, along Prince's Street and westwards to the airport.
