EDINBURGH

Hi everyone!
Today,I´m going to write about a wonderful city: Edinburgh!.So, the first thing you have to know is how to pronounce Edinburgh /ˈɛdɪnb(ʌ)ɹə/
You can listen the pronunciation here: http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Edinburgh
 Secondly, you may know Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland,the second largest city in Scotland, and the eighth most populous in the United Kingdom.Located in the south-east of Scotland, Edinburgh lies on the east coast of the Central Belt, along the Firth of Forth, near the North Sea.

You can read more about its history, culture,festivals,climate,etc here:

There are many things to do in Edinburgh.Must-see monuments include: The first and most obvious attraction is Edinburgh Castle - you could easily spend half a day here. As well as the castle itself there's the Scottish Crown Jewels (along with the Stone of Destiny), Mons Meg (a huge bombard cannon), the Prisons of War Exhibition, the Scottish National War Memorial, the National War Museum of Scotland, the Royal Scots Regimental Museum and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Regimental Museum.

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, founded in 1670, is the 2nd oldest botanic garden in the UK. It's both a scientific institution and a tourist attraction.
Though originally located within Edinburgh, the gardens were moved out of the city in Leith to be away from the pollution. The Temperate Palm House, built in 1858, found here is the tallest such building in the UK. Nearly 34,000 plants are grown at the Botanics in Edinburgh or its three smaller offshoots located in other parts of Scotland.
The Saint Giles' Cathedral, though technically it's not a cathedral as it doesn’t have a Bishop, is a major landmark in the city of Edinburgh. Easily found between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, this church is the largest Church of Presbyterianism and contains the Chapel of the Order of the Thistle. Its crown tower is quite distinctive and the cathedral is easily spotted from other vantage points in the city.
The Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre - remember Scotch Whisky is spelled without an ‘e’! This is an excellent place to visit for all fans of this distinctive whisky.
A trip to the centre can lead to a tour where you'll learn all about the making of whisky, the difference between the various types such as single malt, etc, the people who made whisky the worldwide success it is today. And there's also a free drink included in the entrance price.
Arthur's Seat is located just outside the city of Edinburgh. This is the tallest peak in a range of hills found within Holyrood Park. Due to its name there are many who believe the hill has some connection with King Arthur but there is no evidence of this.
The hill is an easy ramble so if you'd like a quick walk in the Scottish countryside you won’t get better than this. When you're visiting the hill be sure to check out the Salisbury Crags, these cliffs are 46 metres tall and are popular with Rock Climbers.

Apart from this, you can also visit nearby towns such as Stirling or go to Loch Ness.Have you ever heard about Loch Ness Monster?
