WELCOME TO EDINBURGH

A world class city

With rich history, beautiful scenery, stunning architecture and vibrant culture, Edinburgh has been rated ‘the most liveable city in the world’.

Scotland’s capital attracts more than four million visitors every year. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and accredited as the first UNESCO City of Literature, Edinburgh offers a wealth of cultural delights. Its museums, galleries and theatres host year-round exhibitions, performances and tours.

Every August, the Edinburgh International Festival and Festival Fringe welcome performers from more than 60 countries. Nearly three million visitors enjoy an exhilarating month of the best opera, music, drama and dance the world has to offer during the biggest annual arts festival.

Edinburgh is a ‘must visit’ destination for visitors from across the globe and hosts more than 15.6 million overnight stays worth £1.5 billion every year.

With 71% of overseas visitors coming to Edinburgh for a holiday, more than other UK cities including Glasgow (54.5%) and London (50.7%), the city benefits from a growing international tourism economy.

It’s easy to see why. Edinburgh offers so many popular attractions

including the National Museum of Scotland, National Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Zoo – home to the only giant pandas in the UK.

Its unrivalled arts and literary festivals attract audiences in excess of 4.5 million people, with an annual economic impact of £313 million. The city offers a wealth of luxury shopping opportunities on George Street and nearby Multrees Walk, both home to famous fashion brands and designer labels.

SO MUCH TO EXPERIENCE

Edinburgh is a culinary haven for food lovers. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the finest seafood, freshly harvested from Scottish waters. The city is home to four Michelin stars. World-class restaurants make the most of seasonal, locally-sourced products while its buzzing bars offer wine, craft beers, and of course the ‘water of life’ – celebrated during ‘whisky month’ every May.

THE BRIGHTEST OUTLOOK

Award-winning Edinburgh is one of the most productive and prosperous cities in the UK, with a strong, growing economy that attracts discerning investors.

Offering an unrivalled quality of life, along with a wealth of career opportunities, the Scottish capital benefits from a fast-growing, educated and highly skilled workforce. By 2026, Edinburgh’s population is projected to increase to 546,440, of which 70% are predicted to be of working age.

World-leading research in data science, cyber security, robotics and blockchain, supported by four universities and a thriving student population, make the city a global learning centre. Named ‘Europe’s most attractive destination for technology businesses to locate to’ (European Business Magazine), Edinburgh is a magnet for developers and dynamic fintech companies, with opportunities for business investment.

The opening of the Bank of Scotland over 300 years ago established Edinburgh as a financial centre. Insurance, pensions, fund management and asset servicing sectors are particularly strong, with nearly 10% of the working population employed in this area. Edinburgh is the UK’s most important financial centre, after London, and a top four city within Europe, with nearly £500 billion of assets under management.

The city’s property market is forecast to flourish, with house prices and rental growth expected to average 3.1% per annum, well above the UK-wide forecast of 2.2% house price growth and 2.4% rental growth. (Source: JLL)

In 2019, Edinburgh was voted ‘Top UK City’ for best economic prospects by The UK Vitality Index, Lambert Smith Hampton.

NEW TOWNOne of Britain’s most celebrated urban areas

With its classical architecture, sandstone buildings, elegant squares and tranquil gardens, it’s easy to see why Edinburgh’s New Town has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status.

Designed in 1767 for the wealthy professionals, politicians and writers escaping the overcrowded Old Town, it was defined by its generous space, open views, light and order.

Central to this most historic and cultural neighbourhood, George Street is New Town’s main thoroughfare, connecting St Andrew Square in the east to Charlotte Square – the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland – to the west.

George Street’s association with the finance industry can be seen in several buildings that were once head offices of Scotland’s insurance companies and banks, notably The Dome, with its classical columns, Contini’s converted banking hall and The Standing Order public house.

Today, residents and visitors experience the vibrant living history through not only its elegant architecture, but art galleries, boutique shops, high-end fashion retailers, café culture and buzzing nightlife.

Peruse the delights of Harvey Nichols, enjoy a live performance at The Assembly Rooms and dine in style at the city’s most exciting restaurants – all just steps away from 53 George Street.
