Edinburgh Castle

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Edinburgh Castle looms against the skyline. There has been a castle here throughout the city’s history, with today’s comprising a collection of buildings from the little 11th-century St. Margaret’s chapel, through medieval apartments to more modern army barracks and the Scottish United Services Museum. A dramatically staged exhibition tells the tale of the Scottish Crown Jewels, the “Honours of Scotland,” which dazzle the visitor from their glass case. From the castle ramparts the view over Edinburgh is spectacular.
