Edinburgh Castle
Sightseeing

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.

Edinburgh Old Town
Sightseeing

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old Town is the medieval half of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage City, a dramatic mile-long spine of volcanic rock dominated by the castle at one end and the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the other, with centuries of Scottish history compressed into a labyrinth of closes, wynds, and tenements. The Royal Mile connects the two royal residences through the heart of the old city, passing the High Kirk of St Giles and Grassmarket along the way. The August Fringe Festival transforms the Old Town into the world's greatest arts festival.

Transport

Edinburgh Waverley Station

Edinburgh Waverley Station is Scotland's principal railway hub and one of the most dramatically sited major stations in the world, buried in a glacial valley between the Old Town's medieval tenements and the Georgian New Town. Named after Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels, it serves as the gateway to Scotland's capital and is the terminus for express services from London King's Cross. The station's glass roof opens to views of Edinburgh Castle dramatically looming above.
