Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital and is the seat of the Scottish government and the Scottish Supreme Courts. The city attracts almost two million visitors annually, making it the second most popular tourist destination in the UK and its second-largest financial center. The history of Edinburgh has origins dating back to the Middle Ages, but the earliest habitation evidence goes back to 8500BC. The city is still steeped in history, and many of the attractions in Edinburgh celebrate Scottish heritage.
