We benefit significantly from and value the diversity of this community which brings contrasting contexts, experiences and perspectives to inform all that we do.
Scotland’s capital is one of the most unique and memorable cities in Europe. Studded with volcanic hills, it sits on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. The city’s superb architecture ranges from the Greek-style monuments found on Calton Hill, to extraordinary 16th century tenements in the Old Town. The New Town is a Georgian masterpiece and you will find incredible Victorian works throughout. Edinburgh Castle dominates all of this towering high on top of the volcanic plug that is Castle Rock. In Edinburgh there are sixteen thousand buildings that are listed as architecturally or historically important.
