The capital of Scotland since 1437, Edinburgh is one of the most important historic cities in Europe and as such was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. The city is one of the major European tourist destinations. It has not only a wealth of ancient and historically important buildings but also so many cultural attractions for students of all ages, that it would be hard to see them all in two weeks. Accommodation is provided in one of Edinburgh's well known private boarding schools, within walking distance of the central districts of the city.
