Edinburgh Castle dominates the city from its volcanic rock perch, and it has witnessed more drama and bloodshed than almost any other building in Britain. This ticket includes castle entry and a guided walking tour with an expert guide who brings 900 years of Scottish history to life, taking you up the Royal Mile and through the fortress. You visit the Great Hall, hear about the sieges and the royal intrigue, and get panoramic views over the city from the ramparts. Guides are available in five languages.
