Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is one of the most interesting cities for students to enjoy. It is famous for its literary heritage, historic cobbled streets and striking architecture. Also, Edinburgh was the first city in the entire world to have its own fire service. Many people love to go to Edinburgh to enjoy their time and sometimes even write; J.K. Rowling wrote some of the Harry Potter books in The Elephant, an Edinburgh café, and took inspiration from the landscape for the characters and locations. This Edinburgh student accommodation is located in the heart of the city.
