Quick Facts

• Edinburgh is variously known as the Athens of the North or Auld Reekie (in reference to the smoke that hung over the city before smokeless fuel)

• Greyfriars Bobby was a little dog who pined every day for many years at his police constable master's grave in Greyfriars Churchyard.  When he eventually died he was buried alongside his master.

• Edinburgh Castle has been variously held by the Scots, the English and even once by the French.

• Edinburgh has been the Capital of Scotland for several Centuries (Perth, Stirling and Dunfermline all having been previous Capitals).  

• In 1999 a devolved Parliament sat in Edinburgh for the first time since the dissolution of "The Estates" almost 300 years earlier following the Act of Union with England.
