Much of Edinburgh's gay scene is centred round the pink triangle between Broughton Street and the top of Leith Walk. While there are quite a few very popular bars, there's only one disco that opens every night, called CC Bloom's, and all of Edinburgh's gay folk merge on it. There are however many weekly or monthly gay nights at other discos, which also tend to be packed to the hilt.

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and its second largest city, after Glasgow, which is 45 miles (72 km) to the west. It is in the south-east of Scotland, on the east coast of Scotland's Central Belt, on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, on the North Sea and, because of its rugged setting and vast collection of Medieval and Georgian architecture including numerous stone tenements, it is often considered one of the most dramatic cities in Europe. The Old Town and New Town districts of Edinburgh were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. There are over 4,501 listed buildings within the city.

Edinburgh is well known for the annual Edinburgh Festival, a collection of official and independent festivals held annually over about four weeks from early August. The number of visitors attracted to Edinburgh for the Festival is roughly equal to the settled population of the city. The most famous of these events are the Edinburgh Fringe (the largest performing arts festival in the world), the Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
