🏰 Edinburgh Castle
Perched atop ancient volcanic rock, Edinburgh Castle is Scotland’s most iconic fortress. Highlights include the Royal Palace with the Crown Jewels, the medieval St Margaret’s Chapel, and the daily firing of the One O’Clock Gun. Guided tours offer rich historical context amidst panoramic city views.

🎭 The Royal Mile and Old Town
This historic stretch links the Castle to Holyrood Palace, weaving through medieval closes, St Giles’ Cathedral, the Real Mary King’s Close, and independent shops and cafés. It’s the city’s beating heart, offering a deep dive into Edinburgh’s medieval past.

🏛️ Palace of Holyroodhouse & Holyrood Abbey
At the eastern end of the Royal Mile stands the official Scottish residence of the monarchy. Visitors can tour Mary Queen of Scots’ chambers, the elegant State Apartments, and the ruins of the 12th‑century abbey.

🌋 Arthur’s Seat & Salisbury Crags
This extinct volcano in Holyrood Park offers an accessible hike with stunning panoramic vistas of the city and Firth of Forth. The neighbouring Salisbury Crags add dramatic cliffside appeal.

🥃 The Scotch Whisky Experience
Located near Castlehill, this immersive tour guides visitors through Scotland’s whisky-making tradition, complete with tastings and a ride through the production process.

🌿 Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (Free)
A serene 72-acre oasis founded in 1670. Wander through themed gardens—Rock, Chinese Hillside, Native Plant collections—then enjoy refreshments at the riverside café.

🎉 Festivals & Events
Edinburgh erupts with culture, particularly in August: Fringe, Book Festival, and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the Castle Esplanade. Year-round, catch choral services, theatre at the Playhouse/New Theatre, and concerts at the Usher Hall.
