Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle is Scotland's most visited attraction and one of Europe's oldest fortified sites, perched on an ancient volcanic plug that has been occupied for 3,000 years. The castle complex includes the Scottish Crown Jewels (the oldest in Britain), the Stone of Destiny, the One O'Clock Gun, and St Margaret's Chapel — the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, dating from the 12th century. The castle's commanding position over the city is dramatic in every season.
