Usher Hall
Built in the 1890s, thanks to the bequest of distiller Andrew Usher, this Beaux Arts building is Edinburgh's equivalent of Carnegie Hall. During the International Festival, the horseshoe-shaped auditorium hosts such orchestras as the London Philharmonic. But it is not only a venue for classical music, with top touring jazz, world music, and pop acts also playing here through the year.
