A must see in Edinburgh. Beautiful view from the castle on castle rock. A lot of construction were going on, that took a bit of the charm away. but well, still a great sight!

We enjoyed our trip to the Castle. A lot of care has given into looking after the surroundings, and there is quite a busy but not crowded atmosphere throughout the grounds, with lots of tour guides enthusiastically recounting histories. The cafe was a little expensive if you were to pop in to grab a can of drink (£1.60 for a... More

This was quite an interesting couple of hours. A lot smaller than I imagined. Looking at the memorials from the various scottish regiments to 60,000 plus men who died in the 1914-18 war (no doubt there were more just not honoured here) was a bit sombering. Worth a visit...and wait for the 1 o'clock gun if you do.

Enjoyed our visit to the castle, tagged onto the short but informative guided tour, well worth waiting for it to start as gives a few extra interesting facts which you can't get from guide books. All inclusive entry is good as are the facilities. The cafe is reasonably price, good coffee and selection of snacks and larger meals.

This was interesting, but not really what I was expecting. Along with the castle are many buildings, much of what has been converted for military use. I was disappointed by the Scottish honours, a big build up for a let down. I suggest taking advantage of the audio tour, the walking tours can't provide information while you are actually looking...

The castle is hard to miss from anywhere in Edinburgh. Lines to enter moved swiftly and tours were frequent, which kept groups smaller as a whole. The guide(a young woman from France) was knowledgeable and congenial. In addition to getting a clear picture of how Scottish and English royal lines intersect, we witnessed the loading and firing of a musket... More

Dominating the Edinburgh skyline, the castle is the place to visit if you have plenty of time to take it all in. I found that it took a full day to do the place justice and it is not an attraction to while away a couple of hours if you are not interested in Scottish History, so really do think... More

Amazing views of Edinburgh from the Castle but honestly I must follow some of the other reviews when I say there isnt much in the way of plackards saying what things are. The chapel is gorgeous. The crown jewels, for me, were not worth the 30 minutes in line wondering around very odd "depiction" of their time line. If you... More

Awe inspiring. Visited the castle as part of the hop on, hop off bus tour so our entry ticket was included. I would advise this approach as the line to purchase tickets was quite long but we were able to walk right in. The views are spectacular!
