Edinburgh Castle

There are many iconic sites in Edinburgh, Scotland; however, the Edinburgh Castle really stands out as a favorite for many visitors. Dominating the Edinburgh skyline, this massive castle has been home to settlements since the 9th century BC.

In addition to being a castle complete with high stone walls and lots of cannons, Edinburgh Castle is also the home to two very interesting sites. The first is the Scottish National War Museum which has weapons and kilts on display. If you’re lucky you might see a Scottish bag piper playing in the courtyard. The second site is the home to the Scottish Honours. The collection include the royal crown, sword and scepter from the 17th century.These attractions make a visit to Edinburgh Castle extra special.

Walk the grounds, learn about the history of Edinburgh Castle and the famous William Wallace, independently or on a guided tour. Step inside St Margaret’s Chapel, which is the oldest building in all of Edinburgh, dating back to the 12th century.
