Forth Bridge The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, to the east of the Forth Road Bridge, and 14 kilometres (9 mi) west of central Edinburgh. It is often called the Forth Rail Bridge or Forth Railway Bridge to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge. It was opened on 4 March 1890. The bridge connects Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, with Fife, leaving the Lothians at Dalmeny and arriving in Fife at North Queensferry; it acts as a major artery connecting the north-east and south-east of the country. Described in the Collins Encyclopaedia of Scotland as "the one immediately and internationally recognised Scottish landmark", it may be nominated by the British government to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scotland. The bridge and its associated railway infrastructure is owned by

Edinburgh Castle is an ancient stronghold which dominates the sky-line of the city of Edinburgh from its position atop Castle Rock. It is Scotland's second most visited tourist attraction. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC. As it stands today though, few of the castle's structures pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, with the notable exception of St Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, which dates from the early 12th century.As with all castles, Edinburgh's fortress has been a centre of military activity

And she once danced with David Bowie at a concert by jazz singer George Melly. Queen Elizabeth II: Lady Gaga The Queen is not reported to be much of a music fan (Bach aside) although she did smile on meeting Lady Gaga following the Royal Variety Performance in 2009 in Blackpool. Duke Of Edinburgh: Tom Jones The famously tactful Duke of Edinburgh said to Tom Jones after his Royal Variety Performance in 1969: "What do you gargle with, pebbles?". He later added: "It is very difficult at all to see how it is possible to become immensely valuable by singing what I think are the most hideous songs." Sir Tom Jones was, of course, knighted in 2005. Prince Edward: Peter Gabriel Prince Edward, the Earl Of Wessex, is an avid fan of Peter Gabriel. THANK YOU

I´ve been very happy in Essendean but I´ve never been anywhere else. My mother and father are dead now and I´m going to find my future." Mr Campbell told David that his father has given him a letter before he died. It was his inheritance. David´s father wanted him to go to the House of Shaws, near Edinburgh.

Antonio Meucci, (who called it a telettrofono.) In the 1880s Meucci was credited with the early invention of inductive loading of telephone wires to increase long-distance signals. Unfortunately, serious burns from an accident, a lack of English, and poor business abilities resulted in Meucci failing to develop his inventions commercially in America. Alexander Graham Bell is commonly believed as the inventor of the first practical telephone. Bell was born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and educated at the universities of Edinburgh and London. He immigrated to Canada in 1870 and to the United States in 1871. He was an early student of sound and speech, inspired, perhaps, by the fact that his mother, Eliza, was almost totally deaf and his father, Melville, developed the first international phonetic alphabet. In his early 20s Bell himself taught deaf children to speak and gave speech lessons at schools in his community.

The Stewarts ruled Scotland for the remainder of the Middle Ages. The country they ruled experienced greater prosperity from the end of the 14th century through the Scottish Renaissance to the Reformation. This was despite continual warfare with England, the increasing division between Highlands and Lowlands, and a large number of royal minorities. Modern history In 1603, James VI King of Scots inherited the throne of the Kingdom of England, and became King James I of England, and left Edinburgh for London. With the exception of a short period under the Protectorate, Scotland remained a separate state, but there was considerable conflict between the crown and the Covenanters over the form of church government. After the Glorious Revolution, the abolition of episcopacy and the overthrow of the Roman Catholic James VII by William and Mary, Scotland briefly threatened to select a different Protestant monarch from England.

Walter Scott (1771 1832) Sir Walter Scott oli soti kirjanik. Tuntud kui ajaloolise romaani zanri looja. Ta kirjutas enam kui kakskümmend viis maailmakuulsat ajaloolist romaani. Kirjutas ka luulet ja näidendeid. Walter Scott sündis Sotimaal Edinburgh's. Ta oli juristi poeg. Kirjaniku biograafid oletavad, et romaanis "Rob Roy" on mõningaid autobiograafilisi jooni (vana kaupmehena kujutas oma isa). Juba lapsena huvitus Walter Scott Sotimaa ajaloost, tema poeetilistest legendidest ja rahvapärimustest. Ta armastas kuulata jutustusi keskaegseist lossidest ja rüütlite kangelastegudest, deklameeris vanu soti ballaade, luges innukalt Shakespeare'i ajaloolisi kroonikaid ja rahvalaulukogusid.
