Get a UK visa and visit Edinburgh

Edinburgh may be currently enjoying its status as venue for the biggest arts festival in the world, but it’s just received another accolade after it was officially voted the most desirable place to live in the UK.

10, 000 people voted in a new Yougov survey that saw Scotland’s Capital judged as having the best atmosphere of any other city in Britain. Edinburgh also ranked in the top five for factors such as culture, friendliness, cuisine and “media buzz”.

The city beat off challengers including London, York and Belfast.

Edinburgh Festival goers may have endured one of the wettest days recorded in August today, but the soggy climate was not enough to dampen many voters’ enthusiasm for the popular business and tourist destination.

Edinburgh, it would seem, reigns supreme!
