Untitled by Raiveran

If you pay for the headphone tour, take everything off your schedule; you’ll be there for hours. There is simply too much information per place of interest for any human to take in. I suggest just walking through, though the lady further down the review list is right; once in the castle, you have to follow its winding halls with everyone else.

It’s an important part of Scottish history, but don’t get too caught up in seeing everything. Take it in as it is.

A tip by julesbear

To get into the castle proper, you have to pay, but you can still go up and get a great view of the city from the walls without paying.

Too crowded by Stephanie

I would have enjoyed this more if it wasn’t so crowded. As it was, I was just ready to get away from the place. I went in to see the crown jewels and got roped into this whole tourist maze. Not what I wanted out of my visit. I enjoyed some of the other castles much more, because we were practically alone visiting them. Craigmillar and Lauriston are just on the outskirts of Edinburgh and well worth a visit (unfortunately I did not get inside Lauriston), and you will have them entirely to yourself!

It looks so great perched on top of that rocky crag.
