Edinburgh, the second largest city in Scotland, has been the capital since 1437 and is now once again the seat of the Scottish Parliament. The city is dominated by Edinburgh Castle, perched atop an extinct volcanic crag, and the long sweep of the Old Town trailing after it along the ridge and was one of the major centres of the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century. Edinburgh is well known for the annual Edinburgh Festival, the largest performing arts festival in the world and for its New Year celebrations, which include the largest street party in Europe.

Heriot-Watt University is the eighth oldest higher education institution in the UK.

The University originated as the School of Arts of Edinburgh in 1821. Women were welcomed as early as 1869 - 20 years ahead of other institutions, and in 1966, Heriot-Watt became a University by Royal Charter. The Scottish College of Textiles in Galashiels merged with Heriot-Watt in 1998. The Watt Club recently celebrated its 150th Anniversary, making it the oldest alumni association in the UK.
