Scotland's capital, home of the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh lies on volcanic hills, and therefore is not flat. It is divided into two distinct parts. On the one hand the medieval Old Town, hung on a rocky peak dominated by the Castle. Its carved stones are barely distinguishable from the raw volcanic rock on which it is erected. And on the other hand New Town, the new town built below in the 19th century and a Georgian elegance. You'll enjoy this run, through history, parks, and green hills.
