About the Festival
The purpose of the Festival of Europe (Scotland) is to foster mutual cooperation and understanding between Scotland and European countries especially through discussion, community development, the arts, culture and heritage, science and education; and to advance peace, human rights, rule of law, conflict resolution and reconciliation.
Europe Day held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration' that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable
It is centred on ‘Europe Day’, which is held on 9 May every year to celebrate peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration' that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, with the aim of making war between its nations and unthinkable.
However, the festival runs for more than a week, before and after 9th May. It includes a number of events which are organised by the Festival of Europe (Scotland) itself, but the majority of the events in the festival are ‘stand alone’ events which are organised by a wide range of bodies – public, business, and non-government organisations – who are responsible for their own events.
Through the collaboration of several organisations the first festival took place in May 2024. The 2025 festival will feature events and activities promoted by more than twenty organisations.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Night view

苏河家园

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

可爱的旅游生活89

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Oo西野司oO

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
