The eventual opening of Enric Miralles' controversial Scottish Parliament building put Edinburgh in the news for its daring modern architecture, but Scotland's most visitor-friendly city continues to wear its history with pride. Tourists flock here year-round, and with good reason: its narrow streets and grand buildings combine to make it perhaps the most handsome city in the UK. However, it's more than merely a museum piece - with lively dining and shopping scenes, there's plenty happening both night and day, and August's various festivals combine to create the largest arts event in the world.
