Towering above the city atop Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle’s dominant position in the skyline reflects its place as the jewel in the capital’s crown. Parts of the fortress date back to the 12th century, and invaders have besieged Edinburgh Castle more than any other location in Great Britain.
The castle’s importance within Scotland has continued to this day. The annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo is carried out within its impressive esplanade, making it the most recognisable icon across the entire nation.
