Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle is one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks, perched atop Castle Rock, a historic volcanic plug in the heart of Edinburgh.

The castle has a rich and complex history dating back to at least the 12th century and has served as a royal residence, military stronghold, and symbol of Scottish heritage.

Visitors to Edinburgh Castle can explore its many attractions, including the Crown Jewels of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny, and the medieval St. Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh.

The castle also offers panoramic views of the city and hosts the famous One O’Clock Gun, fired daily as a time signal. It is a must-visit destination for those interested in Scotland’s history and culture.
