Перевод выполненного ответа: Эдинбург, столица Шотландии, известен как «Афины Севера». Возможно, здесь не такой прекрасный климат, как в Греции, но его архитектура производит впечатление. В Новом городе, строительство которого началось в 1760-х годах, много важных зданий, вдохновлённых классической архитектурой. Сегодня этот район Эдинбурга полон галерей, кафе, ресторанов и магазинов и очень популярен среди сотен тысяч туристов, которые приезжают в город круглый год. Вероятно, самое известное здание — Эдинбургский замок. Некоторые его части относятся к XI веку. Тогда город сильно отличался от сегодняшней оживлённой туристической достопримечательности. Это был тёмный туманный город из-за многочисленных горящих очагов. Добавьте к этому количество отходов от населения — и неудивительно, что город был очень зловонным. К счастью, сегодня Эдинбург известен иным. Одно из важнейших событий — фестиваль Fringe, который проходит каждое лето и наполняет город артистами и туристами со всего мира.
