Quick Tour of Castle Highlights
Listen to stories of this royal residence that once served as a prison
Explore St Margaret's Chapel and admire the Crown Jewels at your own pace
Take photos of the impressive medieval siege cannon

First, meet your guide at the statue of Walter Francis Montagu Douglas Scott.
Then, follow in the footsteps of royalty (and even pirates) as you enter Edinburgh Castle. As you explore the castle grounds, you'll hear stories of how this fortress was once home to Mary, Queen of Scots, and served as a prison during the Napoleonic Wars.

Don't forget to snap a photo of the six‑tonne Mons Meg (a medieval cannon) and admire the magnificent Royal Palace.
Afterwards, explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site at your own pace and visit St Margaret's Chapel, the Scottish National War Memorial, and more.
