Rreth
Fakte të shpejta: A famous one o'clock gun has been fired every day for over 150 years from the castle, marking time across the city. Its volcanic rock perch provides dramatic panoramic views of Edinburgh and the surrounding landscape.
Pikat kryesore: The castle's Crown Jewels include the tiny yet powerful Stone of Destiny, a symbol used in the coronation of Scottish kings. Walking through the medieval Great Hall, visitors can imagine banquets where nobles once feasted by flickering torchlight and roaring fires.
