The trains to Edinburgh take you to Waverley Rail Station, the main train station in Scotland's Capital. In terms of location, Waverley Station is right in the city centre so it's extremely close to all of the attractions and it's also near to many of the hotels on or near Princes Street and other parts of the city centre (like the Royal Mile, the Old Town and the New Town).

Travelling by train is ideal for short weekend breaks from London to Edinburgh (or other places like York, Peterborough, Newcastle, etc), especially now that you can book the hotel and rail tickets at the same time.

Origin of 'Edinburgh'

Tourists have problems with the name of Edinburgh. There are hundreds of ways people write it and the most common writings include 'edinburg', 'edinborough', 'edimburgh', 'edinbourgh', 'ediburgh', 'edinbugh', 'edinboro', 'edingburgh', 'edinbrugh', 'edimburg', 'edinburugh', 'edingurgh', 'edinbrough', etc.

According to the Scottish Place Names dictionary, the name Edinburgh means 'Fort of the Rock Face'. The 'edin' part comes from Scottish Gaelic and means 'rock face', while 'burgh' comes from Old English meaning stronghold.

Some more obscure (and quite funny) ways of writing Edinburgh include: edinburough, edingburg, edinbourg, edinburh, edinurgh, edenburg, edinbough, edinbourough, edinbrgh, edingborough, edenburgh, edinberg, edinborgh, edinborugh, edinburge, edinburhg, edingbourgh, etc.

Edinburgh is spelt Edimburgo in Spanish and Italian and Édimbourg in French.
