Edinburgh Castle is famous worldwide as an icon of Scotland. Once the home of kings and queens it is now the country´s premier visitor attraction. It boasts a magnificent Great Hall, with an ornate ceiling and fine collection of weapons, plus sumptuous royal apartments. Within its walls are Scotland´s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny. There is also the highly-rated Prisons of War experience as well as the chance to see Mons Meg, the 15th century siege cannon, and to witness the firing of the One o´Clock Gun. The castle makes a fabulous day out for adults and children.
