Founded in 1329, the paper and printing publishing industry has a long history, and shipbuilding, chemical industry, nuclear energy, electronics, cable, glass and food industries are also very important. With the development of Beihai Oilfield, a series of related industries and services, important transportation hubs and airports have been established.

Edinburgh has been regarded as the capital of Scotland since15th century, but in 1603 and 1707, political forces moved south to London many times. The autonomy of the Scottish Parliament was established from 65438 to 0999. Important cultural institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the National Gallery of Scotland are also located in Edinburgh. Economically, Edinburgh now relies mainly on the financial industry and is the largest financial center in Britain outside London. Edinburgh has a long history and many historical buildings are well preserved. Edinburgh Castle, Holiday Palace, St Giles Cathedral and other places of interest are all located here. Together with the new city, the old city of Edinburgh is listed as a world heritage by UNESCO.
