Newbridge lies west of Edinburgh, near the airport and the A8/M9 junction. Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, sets its castle on a volcanic crag at the top of the Royal Mile, which runs down to Holyrood Palace, the royal residence in Scotland. The medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano, rises over the city. The Edinburgh Festival and its Fringe form the largest arts festival in the world each August. The Forth Bridges, including the UNESCO-listed 1890 rail bridge, span the estuary to the north. Stirling Castle and the Highlands open up to the north-west.
