Edinburgh Festivals
The Edinburgh Festival is an amalgamation of artistic, cultural, scientific
and creative celebrations brought together in one city spanning the calendar
year. Originating in 1947, The Edinburgh International Festival embarked
from post-war Britain with the aim of bringing together cultures from
all over the world to celebrate creativity and 'provide a platform for
the flowering of the human spirit'.
However, the same year a number of theatrical companies gate crashed the main festival and over the years flourished into the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence in Scotland of Her Majesty The Queen, stands at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile against the spectacular backdrop of Arthur's Seat. This fine baroque palace is closely associated with Scotland's rich history.
The Palace is perhaps best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots, and as the setting for many of the dramatic episodes in her turbulent reign. Mary was married at Holyroodhouse and witnessed the brutal killing of her secretary Rizzio by her jealous second husband, Lord Darnley, in her private apartments. The Palace briefly served as the headquarters of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 uprising.
Today the State Apartments are used regularly by The Queen and other members of the Royal Family for State ceremonies and official entertaining.
