City of Edinburgh, Administrative district in southeastern Scotland.
Edinburgh extends from the Firth of Forth estuary to the Pentland Hills, incorporating medieval streets in Old Town and Georgian architecture in New Town.
The district evolved from a Celtic settlement to Scotland's administrative center, with Edinburgh Castle established on volcanic rock during the Middle Ages.
The district contains over 4,500 listed buildings, including the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library, and the Scottish National Gallery.
The City of Edinburgh Council manages local administrative functions, urban planning, transportation systems, and housing services across the district.
The district's volcanic geography created distinct landforms like Arthur's Seat and Castle Rock, which shaped the development of settlements.
