6Edinburgh, Scotland: A Festival of Foliage

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a city that thrives in the fall. The Royal Botanic Garden bursts with a riot of colors, and the historic streets are wrapped in an autumnal embrace.  

Visit the Edinburgh Castle, perched on an ancient volcano, and explore the Royal Mile, where you can shop for souvenirs and enjoy traditional Scottish fare. In the evenings, the city comes alive with festivals and cultural events, including the famous Edinburgh International Festival.
