Hello I'm Colm Hanratty from Hostelworld.com and if you want to know what

museums in the Scottish capital are free when the biggest festivals take place and

where is a good place to try traditional haggis

Go nowhere because there are 10 things you need to know about Edinburgh

(Instrumental) Thanks to its compact size enchanting old

town and and endless bars and restaurants Edinburgh

is a city that you will warm to straightaway

over the space of a few days you can climb one of Europe's most famous peaks

Visit the yaught that was once home to the British royal family

and check out scotland's number one tourist attraction

Now, Here is the first of those ten things (Instrumental)

Edinburgh is divided into the old and new towns in the new town you will

discover charming georgian crescents and the city's

best shopping while in the old town your'l find many cobbles

streets and neighbourhoods such as cowgate and the grass

market Its also where you will find the Royal Mile

the most famous street in Scotland the Royal Mile is divided into four different

sections at the very top is castle hill and Edinburgh Castle, then

youv'e got Lawn Market After that you have the High Street which

is where I am now and this is the heart and soul of the Royal mile

then at the very end of the Royal Mile is Cannongate where it ends

with the palace of hollywood house which today is the official residence of queen in Scotland

(Instrumental) dating back to twelfth century BC a member

Edinburgh Castle isn't only Edinburghs number one attraction but also Scotlands

number one attraction so make sure to put by a couple of hours to

explore when in the Scottish Capital highlights in the castle include the great

hall where kings queens and Nobles came to feast saint

margaret's chapel which is the castle's oldest surviving

building and the Scottish National War Memorial

which pays tribute to those who have died in battle

the Scottish capital is full of free museums and galleries which is great

news for those of you on very tight budget These include the writer's museum that showcase's

the city's famous writers the museum Edinburgh which tells the famous

story of great friars Bobby among other things and the National Gallery

which is Scotland's most important art gallery

another of these free museums ais the national museum of Scotland which is located

on Chambers Street and opened in 1998 now while the building

itself is quite modern some of the collections here focus on the

first three million years the museum has lots of interactive exhibits

while dolly the sheep can also be found here part and parcel of a trip to Edinburgh is

trying traditional Scotish Haggis which is a mix of oatmeal and different pieces

of beef and lamb and now it might not sound too tempting but

when in Rome and one of the bar places to try is the Tass

here on the Royal Mile which stocks the award-winning mixed Haggis

(Instrumental) Overlooking Edinburgh is Arthers seat

a rocky peak the climbs 251 metres into the sky

while the climb to the top is a tough one, it is ultimately rewarding

as the views are unforgettable If you don't have a head for heights or are

not feeling particulaly energetic but you would still like a good view of the

city Castle Hill on the East side of Princes Street

is where to go Because as you can see the view is just as

breath-taking located just 3 miles from Edinburgh city centre

Leif is an attractive waterfront suberb that's home to many bars and restaurants

if you've got the time try to check it out (Instrumental)

the main attraction in leif is the Royal Yaught Britania

which was the official yaught to the British Royal Family from 1953 until

1997 Today you can tour the yaught and the highlights include the sunlounge and the

(Instrumental) due to the number of hostels in Edinburgh

there are many bars and pubs that do backpacker specials

where budget travelers can get deals on food and drink

a bar that does one of these specials as the last stop in the city's grass market area

as once you have proved to the staff that you are staying in a hostel

which is the largest arts festival in the world other festivals to take

place in August include the world-famous Military Tattoo the

and the old town in particular is full of narrow lanes and closes

each with a different story to tell there are different haunted tours

operating in Edinburgh many of which like these two here

before you put yourself under any of them make sure to do a bit of homework

because some go to places that others don't and they can vary in price too
