Edinburgh has topped a prestigious poll of the UK’s best cities for the eighth year running.
Guardian readers voted it their favourite UK city break destination in its Travel Awards 2007, now in its 21st year.
Famed for its spectacular castle, stunning architecture and world class festivals, the Scottish capital received an overall rating of 90.4% based on the quality of visit tourists felt they received during their holiday.
By contrast, London limped in at only 17th place, well behind top ten newcomers Cambridge, Cardiff and Leeds.
The award follows Edinburgh being named as the best place in the country to live by the Channel 4 show Location, Location, Location earlier this year.
