Until the late 18th century Edinburgh was made up almost exclusively of
what is now known as the Old Town; the area covering the Castle, Royal Mile and
Grassmarket; all a short journey by Edinburgh Taxis. The founding of
Edinburgh University in 1583, set in motion the city's educational and
professional development. The Bank of Scotland was founded in 1695, the first of
many new ventures that would see Edinburgh established as a leading
financial capital by the end of the 20th century, shame it faltered in the 21st
century. 1707 saw the Act of Union, which joined Scotland and England together
politically, and moved power from Edinburgh's old parliament to London's
Westminster; power seems to have been retained looking at the Scottish presence
in government.
By the late 18th century, Edinburgh was home to a rapidly expanding
population of 35,000. The rich lived right on top of the poor, often quite
literally, as housing was in the form of tenements which were several storeys
high, with the poor living on the lower floors and the rich on the more
desirable upper and middle floors. These conditions led to many rich people
leaving Edinburgh for London. In 1752 a campaign was launched to
encourage the wealthy to stay in Edinburgh. Approximately ten years later
the competition to design a New Town for Edinburgh was launched; hoping
to attract the rich back to Edinburgh. The winner was James Craig, whose
design inspired Edingburgh's grid like system of streets; which includes
Princes Street and Queen Street. Building began in 1767 and it was completed in
1810. In 1822 Edinburgh was already Britain's most important financial city outside
London; it was known as `the Athens of the North'.
Edinburgh enjoys a moderate climate, from April to September temperatures
are mild and compare favourably with other European cities; annual rainfall in
Edinburgh is the same as Frankfurt, New York and Rome. A perfect summer's
day in Edinburgh has clear blue skies and is warm and pleasant; in winter
there can be sharp frosts so it pays to pack a warm sweater. Or you can use
Edingburgh Taxis to keep you extra warm to protect you from Edinburgh's
changeable weather conditions.
