The castle sits on a plug of volcanic rock above the city, and has been fortress, prison and royal residence in turn. Inside you'll find the Honours of Scotland (the oldest crown jewels in Britain), the Stone of Destiny and tiny St Margaret's Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh. Stay for the One O'Clock Gun.
