Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland,
with the new Scottish Parliament sited within the city. Unlike other cities
in Scotland, Edinburgh has suffered less from declining industries such as
the heavy industries in Glasgow. The economy is more administrative based
and service industries have always thrived. Edinburgh is the fourth largest
financial centre in Europe with an average income of over £8500 per
person and thus is one of the wealthiest cities in the UK. Edinburgh continues
to prosper and its population grew 2.3% between 1991 and 1997, partly due
to the high level of employment available in the city. Estate agents in Edinburgh
