Sightseeing
Standing on its great rock, Edinburgh castle dominates Scotland's capital. Great events have taken place within its wall and it has witnessed many sieges. In 1996, the Stone of Destiny, on which kings were enthroned for centuries, was returned to Scotland and is displayed in the Crown Room along side the Crown jewels. Great day out for the whole family - one of Edinburghs biggest tourist attractions.
