Welcome to Edinburgh
I am thrilled to welcome the Archery World Cup Final to the city of Edinburgh. This is a wonderful opportunity for Scottish people to see some of the world’s top archers in action, right in the heart of Edinburgh in Princes Street Gardens.
Edinburgh is a city of great sporting traditions, and has hosted many major sporting events. This event will continue to raise the profile of sport in the capital and help inspire our young people to take up sport, as part of our efforts to make Edinburgh the most physically active city in Europe by 2020.
Edinburgh is one of the most exciting and beautiful capital cities in the world, with its unique history and culture attracting millions of visitors each year. The Edinburgh International Festival, complemented by our renowned Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations, make it a vibrant and attractive place to visit throughout the year. Princes Street Gardens, overlooked by the historic Edinburgh Castle, will provide a stunning backdrop for this event, and I am sure will give a real sense of occasion to all, whether competing or watching.
On behalf of Edinburgh’s City Council and its citizens, I am delighted to welcome you all—participants, spectators, and officials—and I have no doubt that this will be a magical and unforgettable experience for all involved.
The Right Honourable George GRUBB, Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh
