Edinburgh and the Conference Venues

Edinburgh is a cosmopolitan city with a wide variety of
museums, art galleries, theatres, shops and restaurants. It is
a compact city with attractions within walking distance or a
short bus or taxi journey. The Georgian New Town is classically elegant whilst the Old Town, with its tightly packed
closes, has a medieval air. Edinburgh Castle, the most famous
of Scottish castles, perched on a volcanic crag that sweeps
down the Royal Mile to the Royal Palace of Holyrood House,
dominates the city and is well worth a visit. It is home to the
Scottish Crown Jewels, the oldest Royal Regalia in Britain,
displayed alongside the Stone of Destiny, the coronation

stone for the Kings of Scotland.
The plenary and the symposia venues are all sited in the Old
Town close to the famous Royal Mile. The plenary session
will take place in the magnificent McEwan Hall (the graduation hall of the University of Edinburgh) https://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/McEwan_Hall. Other themed sessions will also take
place there and in the adjacent Appleton towers. Both buildings are a short (5 minute) walk to the National Museums
Scotland. Workshops will take place at the National Museum
of Scotland and a short bus ride away, the Royal Botanic
Gardens Edinburgh and the National Museums Collections
Centre.
