You cannot miss the fortress castle overlooking modern Edinburgh. Stroll the Royal Mile, the mile-long street leading up to the castle’s gates, and take in the kitschy shops and restaurants before visiting the 12th century castle. The castle is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels (Honours), the Stone of Destiny and the National War Museum of Scotland. Guided and self tours occur daily.
