Edinburgh is probably the most visited city in Scotland. It is well known for its castles and palaces that give people the impression that it is a city right out of the fairytales. The Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh is the Queen's official residence in Scotland. The Edinburgh castle is also a must visit. No visit to Edinburgh would be complete without a trip to The Calton hill. The Calton hill gives a panoramic view of the whole city and also houses an Athenian acropolis know as The National Monument.
