There are so many reasons to visit Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Did you know that many of the Harry Potter movies were filmed here? If you are a Potterhead, you will be surprised to learn that J K Rowling found inspiration to write many chapters of her novels in Edinburgh’s coffee shops. However, this is not where the tourist attraction ends. The city is home to the world’s first and only knighted penguin, and the famous Edinburgh Castle actually sits on top of an extinct volcano!
