Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and the seventh most populous city in the United Kingdom. It is also home to the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, so cosmetic surgery in Edinburgh is both prolific and of a high standard.
Edinburgh is a very popular tourist destination, particularly in August, when it plays host to the annual Edinburgh Festival – the number of visitors who travel to Edinburgh for the festival each year is roughly equivalent to the settled population of the city, although with the number of shows and attractions to see it is unlikely that any of them have time to spare for cosmetic surgery in Edinburgh.
With its elegant Georgian townhouses and many areas of parkland, Edinburgh is worth a visit just as an area of beauty, but it also has great historical interest for many visitors. The world famous Edinburgh Castle sits on top of the volcanic Castle Rock, with views across the city, and is now run as a tourist attraction.
Also worth a visit is the Royal Palace, formerly home to the later Stewart Monarchs. The palace itself underwent a very early form of cosmetic surgery in Edinburgh in the 17th century, when the building was extensively remodelled for the visit of James VI in 1617.
The city is also famed for its shopping – Princes Street in the centre is probably the main shopping street, with a wide range of stores from souvenir shops to high street chains and the famous department store, Jenners. A more recent development, Multrees Walk, plays host to designer stores such as Louis Vuitton, Mulberry, Emporio Armani and Calvin Klein – so that might be the place to go if you want to look at the results of some of the more expensive cosmetic surgery in Edinburgh!
Edinburgh's night life is also a great tourist attraction, and if you want to show off the results of your own cosmetic surgery in Edinburgh, you will be spoilt for choice. Traditional areas for pubs clubs and restaurants were the Grassmarket, Lothian Road and surrounding streets, but recently George Street in the New Town has become fashionably, as well as Stockbridge and the waterfront at Leith, which houses a number of upmarket bars, restaurants and clubs.
