Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and the second-largest city in Scotland (after Glasgow).

Before 1975, Edinburgh was a Royal Burgh within the county of Midlothian. Between 1975 and 1996 it was part of the Lothian region. Since the introduction of single-tier local government throughout Scotland in 1996, the City of Edinburgh has been a unitary authority. Edinburgh is now the home of the devolved Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament.

LGBT History

Remember When was an oral and community history project documenting the lives and achievements of Edinburgh's LGBT people, past and present.[1]

Pride marches (currently Pride Scotia) have been held in Edinburgh since 1994.
