Edinburgh Festivals There are probably no people who would not like to visit the Edinburgh Festival. It is so beautiful and interesting that it is worth mentioning ! Edinburgh International Festival traces its history since 1947. It was established in the framework of the post-war efforts to improve the morale of the population. And in the first year, eight theater companies have gone beyond the official part of organizing additional performances have turned the result in the Edinburgh Fringe Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo The grandiose musical-theater festival, which is held in the first three weeks of August every year since 1950 in the c Edinburgh. Submissions are participating military bands from around the world, drummers, singers, acrobats and cheerleaders, all more than a thousand participants. Holyroodhouse The Palace of Holyroodhouse is The Queen's official residence in Scotland. The Palace is used by Her Majesty during 'Holyrood Week' for official functions and events, and by members of the Royal Family at other times of the year. The State Apartments of the Palace are open to visitors throughout the year when not in use for official ceremonies and entertaining. As a future builder, I note the remarkable architecture of Holyroodhouse. Holyroodhouse Palace has the shape of a square - buildings on the sides of the square perimeter and the courtyard in the middle. Just a square - it would be boring, but two attached double towers give Holyrood its unique appearance. It is worth paying attention to the gates of the palace. They look more ancient than the main building. Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh One of the oldest UK Botanic Gardens. The area is 25 hectares. It was founded in 1670. The garden was founded by two scientists Andrew and Robert Balforum Sibbaldom. Throughout its history, the botanical garden changed the location to its present one several times. - on the city moved It has been in the city area since 1820. The Royal Mile A series of streets in the center of Edinburgh is one of the main attractions of the city. The length of the Royal Mile is one Scottish mile, which is longer than the British one about 200 m (about 1.8 km). It begins at Edinburgh Castle and descends down to Holyrood Palace. Calton Hill Calton Hill is one of the hills in the heart of Edinburgh. This is a great viewing platform, which offers wonderful perspective of the city. Officially, the hill was joined to the city of Edinburgh in 1859. Once there was a prison and a place of execution, and then the building of the Scottish Government – St Andrews House was erected. The University of Edinburgh Five centuries of history link the students with the one of the most ancient and beautiful universities. It is a unique and captivating place, and the buildings make an unmistakable architectural complex. Interesting facts about the University of Edinburgh The university was founded in 1583. It is the member of Russell Group and League of European Research Universities It is the forth oldest university in Scotland. The University is governed by a number of key officials and three main bodies: University Court, the Academic Senate, and the General Council. The virtual excursion is over and it is of great help to improve my English. It draws my attention to the history, culture and education. But most of all I was impressed by enigmatic architecture of the city. After looking at the amazing buildings and facilities in Edinburgh, I’m proud of my professional choice. As a future builder I want to learn to do something similar myself! Thank you for attention! Bibliography 1. Википедия. Статья «Эдинбург». Режим доступа: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 2. Рум А.Р.
