Description

Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, is an ancient city with glorious views of the sea and hills, with endless medieval alleyways and Georgian streets to explore. You cannot miss the incredible Edinburgh Castle which overlooks the Old Town and the Royal Mile, leading to the equally impressive Holyrood Palace and Park where you can climb Arthur’s Seat for a spectacular view of the city. Despite being the capital, Edinburgh is a safe and compact city which still offers all the sights, history and culture of larger UK capitals. Napier University is located just away from the bustle of the Royal Mile, and provides students with excellent modern facilities, with plenty of cafés and restaurants close by.
