Edinburgh Castle

Overview

The fortress on the rock: crown jewels, the One O'Clock Gun and the best view in the city.

Set in Old Town, it's an easy base for exploring Edinburgh. Scotland's capital pairs a medieval Old Town with the elegant Georgian New Town, all watched over by a castle on an extinct volcano.
