Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle dominates the city of Edinburgh.
Over one thousand years of history sit on top of the famous Edinburgh rock and it is easy to see why it has over a million visitors a year.
In August the Edinburgh Tatoo is held in the Esplanade. Throughout the year you may visit the Battlements, Great Hall, Royal Appartments, Crown Room and the 900 year old St Margaret's Chapel. Monday to Saturday the One o'clock gun is fired so check your watch and cover your ears!
