Haven't got a clue where to go for your summer holidays?

How about Edinburgh, Scotland? I'm planning to go there myself next summer. I'm really fascinated with Edinburgh, and generally Scotland.
Edinburgh is one of the most picturesque cities of the northern part of Great Britain. Magnificent castles and ruins, breath-taking views. But that's just a very general description of what you can see and 'what your eyes can experience' in Scotland. If you want to find out more I recommend these websites: http://www.edinburgh.org/ and http://www.visitscotland.com/.

But what fascinates me most and makes me just dying to go there is the annual Edinburgh Festival. It's just amazing! Artists from all around the world (!), starting with Europeans and ending with Asians, Americans or Indians, come to Edinburgh to perform their shows. There're several major festivals, e.g. Book, Art Festivals, Jazz & Blues Festival and many other. However, the most spectacular event is the Fringe Festival. Believe it or not, it's thought to be the largest showcase on earth!

You can check it out here: http://www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk/.

So what you recon? Don't know how about you but I fancy going there
