Old and New Towns of Edinburgh
World Heritage
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since the 15th century. It has two distinct quarters: the Old Town, dominated by its medieval fortress, and the New Town, whose development from the 18th century onwards had a profound influence on European urban planning. These two historic and contrasting quarters coexist harmoniously, each with many important buildings, and it is these two quarters that give the city its unique character.
