Edinburgh, or Don Edin, is the capital city of Scotland. Edinburgh is most known for its beautiful Edinburgh Castle, which sits high above the rest of the city. Although most cities in Scotland fell victim to urbanization and industrialization, Edinburgh was left untouched. The fact that Edinburgh never underwent industiralization has led it to be, "a UNESCO World Heritage Site." The Scottish Parliament also resides in Edinburgh. This is definitely a city that represents royalty and rich history, it seems that Edinburgh is even stuck in the time period in which it was first created. Edinburgh is also split into "Old Town" and "New Town". The New Town was created when the Old Town became too densly populated, and the residents needed to explore the North. The New Town is home to the famous Waverly Station. The Old Town is where the Castle is located.
"Feast with Dun Edin's classic brow their sight,
And visit "Melross by the pale moonlight."" (line 155)
