苏格兰首府---爱丁堡欢迎你

爱丁堡是苏格兰的首都，位于苏格兰中部低地的福斯湾南岸，它依山傍水，绿树成荫，古代宫殿、教堂和城堡点缀其间，充满了苏格兰独特的魅力：爱丁堡以其古堡、石砌房屋、香醇的威士忌、穿着苏格兰裙的风笛手闻名世界。可以说，它是苏格兰风情的缩影。是英国最美丽的城市之一。

爱丁堡的市区被“王子街公园”绿地分隔为两部分，南部是旧城区，建于1329年，旧城区的軸心街道是皇家英里街，西端起自古城堡，東端是圣十字架宫，橫向的小街道wynds与其垂直相交，像魚刺一樣，城堡好像魚頭。非常有特色。北部是1767年市议会批准开始建造的新城，为商业区。 城内还保留着许多18世纪带有新古典主义风格的建筑和城市布局。

由于其古老的建筑和19世纪新古典主义兴盛时期，聚集在这里的作家、评论家、出版家、教师、医生和科学家形成具有世界影响的学术精英，所以爱丁堡也被称为“北方的雅典”。1995年被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。

每年8月份，爱丁堡举办著名的国际艺术节，艺术节持续3周时间。期间，来自世界各地的一流文艺团体在此演出。歌剧、古典音乐、爵士乐，还有芭蕾、舞蹈、马戏等各种艺术形式济济一堂。各种表演随着乐队的演奏同步进行，精彩纷呈。 

The Edinburgh Academy

The Edinburgh Academy is an independent school which was opened in 1824. The school is located on the edge of the Georgian 'New Town' area of Edinburgh and thus enjoys a central location, about 10 mintues from the city centre on the frequent bus service. Bus passes are provided.

Accommodation

Residential or homestay. Residential accommodation is in flats, part of Napier University, located in the city centre, just behind the castle and 5 minutes' walk from Princes Street. Each flat has 4-5 newly refurbished single rooms with shared social areas and bathroom.
