History
Heritages sites near Edinburgh Castle holiday homes
You can’t stand anywhere in Edinburgh without being able to peer at the hilltop fortress of Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh Castle is one of the top heritage attractions in the UK, and it’s no surprise why. With a background that spans centuries and a history that fluctuated between a royal residence and military citadel, parts of the structure date back to the 12th century. One of the most remarkable features is its location on the hilltop, and you can find a holiday cottage with the perfect view. You could appreciate the craftsmanship of the winding walls and sturdy keeps after hundreds of thousands of stones were hauled to their present resting places. Historic is an understatement to describe Edinburgh Castle, and you can experience even more of its past at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
