Edinburgh Castle is such a landmark of the city and its lofty position commands a great view across the city and Forth Estuary and beyond. It's an interesting tour inside the Castle too. A headset guide is available. If you are there around 1pm you can also witness Mons Meg, the cannon, being fired at one o'clock precisely. It happens every day. From the Castle its a very historic walk down the Royal Mile to Holyrood Palace- the oldest buildings in Edinburgh.
