Edinburgh - Princes Street - Scotland :

Edinburgh Princes Street -- Princes Street is one of the major thoroughfares in central Edinburgh, Scotland, and its main shopping street. It is the southernmost street of Edinburgh's New Town, stretching around 1 mile (1.6 km) from Lothian Road in the west to Leith Street in the east. The street is mostly closed to private cars, with public transport given priority. The street has virtually no buildings on the south side, allowing views of the Old Town, Edinburgh Castle, and the valley between.

Princes Street is one of the most elegant streets in Europe although there are far too many chain stores nowadays. What saves it, however, is Princes Street Gardens on the south side. In 1834 the American writer Nathaniel Willis described it as a "broad and deep ravine planted with trees and shrubbery". It's much the same today and is a great spot for a stroll . You pass one of Edinburgh's most famous landmarks, the intricate Gothic monument to Sir Walter Scott, with wonderful bird's eye views from the top.

Edinburgh is often described as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, especially in the Neo-classical New Town whose construction began in the late 18th century. South of the Princes Street divide lies the medieval Old Town whose narrow, smoky, streets once gave the city its other (not so complimentary) nickname of 'Auld Reekie' ('Old Smokey').

Time zone -- GMT (GMT + 1 from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October)

Currency -- The currency is the pound (GBP), which is divided into 100 pence. ATMs are available in all towns and Visa, MasterCard and American Express are widely accepted.

Language -- Other than the local language of Scottish, many locals speak English too.

Electricity -- The electrical current in Scotland is 220 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC); wall outlets take plugs with two round oversize prongs and plugs with three prongs. If your appliances are dual-voltage, you'll need only an adapter. Don't use 110-volt outlets marked "For shavers only" for high-wattage appliances such as blow-dryers. Most laptops operate equally well on 110 and 220 volts and so require only an adapter.

Air Connections -- Edinburgh is served by Edinburgh Airport (EDI), located about 8 miles (13 km) to the west of the city, with scheduled connections to many cities in Europe and an expanding international long-haul route network, including daily flights to New York (JFK and Newark) and summer services to Toronto.
