Edinburgh Kalesi, şehrin simgesi ve mutlaka görülmesi gereken bir yer. Tarihi dokusu, etkileyici taş yapıları ve panoramik şehir manzarası büyüleyici. Müze kısmındaki sergiler de oldukça bilgilendirici, İskoç tarihini yakından tanımak mümkün. Ziyaret sırasında fotoğraf çekmek için harika köşeler var. Tarih ve kültüre ilgi duyan herkes için unutulmaz bir deneyim. Kesinlikle tekrar gelmek isterim.

Majestic and steeped in history, Edinburgh Castle offers an unforgettable journey through Scotland's past. The breathtaking views from its ramparts and the fascinating exhibits, including the Crown Jewels, make it a truly spectacular and worthwhile experience. A must-see! Shout out to our tour guide Krissy (sp?), she was very knowledgeable and funny.
