Edinburgh
About the Course Town
Built atop seven extinct volcanoes, Edinburgh is Scotland’s most beautiful city—and its most fun to visit! If you’re into castles and kilts, cutting edge theater and shopping the Royal Mile, this is the city for you!
If you’re interested in studying English in an urban setting, but want to be surrounded by beauty, history and culture, consider Edinburgh. The Scots are proud of their former Royal capital. And it is truly a breathtakingly beautiful place. You can see its imposing castle from nearly everywhere. And the Royal Mile offers dozens of heritage buildings, historic sites and museums. We suggest beginning your stay here with a walk up Calton Hill. From its Athenian acropolis, you have sweeping views of the entire city skyline.
