Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh (pronounced Edin-burra) is Scotland’s vibrant capital city dominated by its spectacular landscapes.

The Balmoral Hotel is recognized as Edinburgh's most luxurious hotel. The majestic Clocktower enhances the city's skyline.

A tour in Scotland is not complete without an encounter with the piob-mhor, or Great Highland Bagpipes. I think it's interesting to note that the British government classified the pipes as an "instrument of war" in 1745.

The weather was glum, but it didn't matter. Known for its festive mood, Edinburgh comes alive regardless of the time of the year. My wife and I really had a wonderful time. Besides, we went here to get married.
