A new study has revealed Edinburgh as the UK's most picturesque city, based on the number of heritage sites, landmarks, and social media popularity. The Scottish capital boasts over 2,000 listed buildings per 100,000 inhabitants and attracts millions of visitors annually.
From London and Manchester to York and Liverpool, the UK is home to some popular staycation destinations for those looking for a weekend away.
The city's landscape is vast and filled with historical landmarks. Queen Victoria herself was captivated by Edinburgh after her first visit in 1842, exclaiming: "The view of Edinburgh from the road before you enter Leith is quite enchanting. It is, as Albert said, fairy-like and what you would only imagine as a thing to dream of, or to see in a picture."
A recent Google Review stated: "It's amazing this castle is still so well preserved. Lots of rooms and glass windows. Cannons and prisons with audio tours available. Stunning views. Great fun doing the royal mile afterwards too ." You can’t miss out on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, a bustling street that runs through the heart of the Old Town which is lined with shops, restaurants, and historic buildings. It's a perfect place to soak in the atmosphere of Edinburgh, with many visitors leaving glowing reviews about their experiences.
