Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, and one of the UK's fastest growing economies. In addition to being a major centre for research through its three Universities and numerous research establishments, it also offers an exceptional quality of life, and is attractive to a highly educated work force. Edinburgh is therefore an ideal location to attract and retain high quality personnel.

• Tourist Attractions
  

  The historic and architectural city of Edinburgh is set on a series of volcanic hills.  Around five million people visit the Edinburgh Region every year. 

  Edinburgh holds many different tourist attractions to attract all ages and interests.   Edinburgh is home to many Art Galleries and Museums including the Central Art Centre and the National Gallery.  Edinburgh Castle, which is perched on top of Castle Rock, can be seen whilst sitting in the relaxing Princes Street Gardens.  Readers of the Da Vinci Code will be familiar with Rosslyn Chapel, where anyone can appreciate the 15th century gothic architecture and carvings, set just eight miles from the city centre. 
  There are many Stately Homes, Gardens and Country Houses throughout Edinburgh including the Royal Botanic Garden and the Malleny Gardens.  The Royal Botanic Garden boasts seventy acres, with its own Glasshouses, The Queen Mother's memorial garden and the Chinese Hillside, plus much more.
  Edinburgh holds the Edinburgh Dungeon.  This attraction mixes humour and horror to represent Scotland’s past.  If this is not your style then why not visit Edinburgh Zoo where you can see over 1,000 animals, some of which you can’t see anywhere else in Britain.

• Edinburgh Festivals
  

  Since the late 1940’s Edinburgh has become the home for many forms of artistic talent.  Throughout August and September, Edinburgh’s population doubles as residents and tourists enjoy nine different Festivals, including the famous Fringe festival.

  The Fringe Festival is said to break its own record every year as the largest arts festival on the planet.  It has been in Edinburgh’s culture since 1947, and each year it brings thousands of performances and hundreds of shows in nearly 300 venues across Scotland's capital city. 

  Edinburgh’s summer program continues to grow with its Book, Film, Jazz and International festivals.  The famous Hogmanay party that takes place in Princes Street to welcome the New Year starts on the 29th December which includes a concert in Princes Street Gardens and a breathtaking Firework display.
