Embark on a brief exploration of Edinburgh Castle's highlights. As you explore the castle grounds and its outdoor spaces, listen to stories about how this stronghold was once home to Mary, Queen of Scots, and a prison during the Napoleonic Wars.

Meet your guide and tread the path of royalty (and even pirates) as you make your way to the castle. Seize the opportunity to photograph the six-tonne Mons Meg, an impressive medieval siege cannon, and appreciate the Royal Palace.

After the guided tour, take your time to explore the interior of this UNESCO World Heritage Site at your own pace. Venture inside St Margaret's Chapel and feast your eyes on the crown jewels, visit the Scottish National War Memorial and more.
