Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, is currently in the news for a variety of reasons. A historic cemetery, Old Calton, was recently vandalized, including the tomb of philosopher David Hume, with occult symbols. In contrast, data from Uber reveals Edinburgh boasts a more vibrant nightlife than London, with Cabaret Voltaire being a popular late-night destination. The city is also set to host part of the Tour de France in 2027, marking the first time the men's race will start in Scotland. Despite yellow weather warnings for snow, Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations are planned to proceed after last year's cancellation. These events highlight Edinburgh's blend of historical significance, contemporary culture, and its role as a major city in the UK.
