Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle's great for tourism.
Dominating the city's skyline, Edinburgh Castle offers a range of tourist treats for those looking for a great day out in the Scottish capital.
Built on top of an extinct volcano, the ancient attraction is sure to offer something for all visitors to the city.
Tourists will have the opportunity to take in a variety of buildings including the King's Lodging - royal apartments which were used by the royal family dating back to the 15th century and the Great Hall.
Meanwhile, the castle's esplanade is the location for the annual Edinburgh military tattoo.
The castle also features the National War Museum of Scotland and the Honours of Scotland - the principality's crown jewels.
And being Scotland's most popular paid-for tourist attraction, drawing some 1.2 million visitors last year, those wishing to take in the splendour of the castle could be well advised to act quickly if they are to beat the queues that are sure to form for this great piece of history.
