Lyrics
V1
Nearthe Firth of Forth at the Southern shore
Where the Craigs and hills call to the clans
Setting on the arm of the North Sea floor
Thrusting westward to the Scottish Lowlands
Chorus
Edinburgh invites you to Walk the royal mile.
Edinburgh she will share her many secrets.
Edinburgh, yes, we all respect your history.
Edinburgh, where old and new gently meets.
V2
They call it the city of renewal for all.
The seat of the Scottish Parliament
In the past, was known as our Town Hall
Yes, we have kept our ancient blueprint!
V3
Two cities’ old and new gently that blurs
Huddled high upon the Castle Rock
At one o’clock the Castle gun is heard
And a Ship would set its maritime clock.
V4
Edinburgh city it overlooks the plains.
Where battles fought, now home of our culture.
Arthur's seat stands proud over Holyrood Park
Edinburgh Seven miles of charm and allure.
