There are so many great things to visit in Edinburgh, I believe you could spend a week there and not see everything. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and the second most populous city in Scotland.
The historical fortress, Edinburgh Castle, dominates the skyline of the city.
The castle is in the care of Historic Scotland and the most visited paid tourist attraction.
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual series performed by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and International military bands and display teams on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle. The event takes place annually through August with an audience just over 217,000. The "Tattoo" is run for charitable causes and has given millions to military and civilian charities and organizations.

Edinburgh Castle
No visit to Edinburgh is complete without a visit to the castle and once you have ventured up to the highest parts of the castle's structure, you will be overwhelmed by the spectacular views of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh Castle is everyone's dream of what a castle should look like. Battles and sieges were fought over it, royalty lived and died within its walls. You can stand under the Great Hall's magnificent hammerbeam roof where Scotland's great and good were expected to honor their king.
Experience a little peace inside the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh. St. Margaret's Chapel is a serene chapel built by David I about 1130 as a private place of worship for the royal family. The King dedicated the chapel to his saintly mother, Queen Margaret.
Prisons of War
Below the Great Hall and Queen Anne building are two tiers of cavernous stone vaults that were used as prisons of war. Prisoners from France, America, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Denmark and Poland were kept here. They included a five-year-old drummer boy captured.
