Edinburgh, Castles and medieval history



#TRAVEL REPORTS

I must say I wasn't expecting to end so fascinated with Edinburgh, I planned my trip to the UK thinking more about my visit to London, rather than Edinburgh, a trip that I made just for work, as I met with a client there, but when I step out of the plane, took the bus and arrived at the city center I immediately fell in love with the city.
To know a little bit more about Edinburgh, it is the capital and second-largest city in Scotland after Glasgow, located on the east coast of Scotland along the Firth of Forth and has been the capital of Scotland since 1437 besides being the seat of the Scottish government.

It is a city that was completely planned. Located in the central part of the country, it is about 950 km Northwest of Rio de Janeiro.
