Places of interest Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle

The Castle is Scotland's second-most-visited tourist attraction and now in the care of Historic Scotland. There is still a military presence at the Castle, largely ceremonial and administrative, and including a number of regimental museums.
Go and visit the Crown Jewels which are a key attraction within the castle or maybe the oldest building in Edinburgh the tiny St Margaret’s Chapel and while you are there just remember to listen out for the One o’clock Gun.
