Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh Castle Make Edinburgh Castle your first port of call. It sits at the top of the historic Royal Mile on a volcanic plug, and is perhaps the most famous landmark on the Edinburgh skyline. Beat the crowds and get there for opening at 9. The views over the city are pretty spectacular, and there is so much to take in, including the National Museum of War, the National War Monument and the Honours of Scotland, the county's Crown Jewels.
Edinburgh Castle sits on top of Castle Rock and overlooks the surrounding area. The castle is one of the most-visited spots in the city, due to its vantage point with a sweeping view of Edinburgh. It also stands out against the skyline as you approach the city. The castle was first built in the eleventh century and includes many statues and monuments to famous Scots, including William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
Inside the castle, take a stroll through various historical displays, souvenir shops, and pricey restaurants and cafes.
On the rooftop terrace, you can enjoy panoramic views over the city from the Camera Obscura. The lower five floors include a variety of interactive optical illusions and tricks. The optical illusions include various holograms, a mirror maze, a vortex tunnel, and several puzzles.
Stop in for a cold soft serve ice cream before continuing your journey. As one of the oldest buildings in the area, this 17th-century merchant house attracts tourists from all over. The building once provided residential and commercial spaces for wealthy tenants.
As with many older buildings, the lower floors were used for shops while the upper floors provided residential homes. You can take a small tour of the inside and check out the paintings on the ceiling as you work your way through the narrow hallways and staircases.
Follow this street for a few minutes until you reach the Scottish National Gallery. The gallery is a big square building and not terribly impressive. You may not recognize some of the names, such as Raeburn or Macdonell, but that makes the trip a little more special. The staff recreates real scenarios of how prisoners were treated during medieval times. After exploring the dungeon, continue walking on Market Street until you reach a fork in the road. Take a right to reach Canongate, one of the many streets of the Royal Mile.
