Things to do & see at Edinburgh Castle: Pass by and admire the power of The Portcullis Gate constructed 450 years ago. The Lang Stairs provide a direct route with 70 steps to the castle's summit. They were the original entrance and an alternative route was created in the 1600s for moving heavy guns. St. Margaret's Chapel is the oldest building in the castle, built around 1130. It has plain exteriors but ornate original arches and stained glass windows inside. Mons Meg is a six-tonne siege gun that could fire a 150kg gunstone up to 3.2km. It was given to King James II in 1457. Enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth, and landmarks from the castle's battlements. See the Honours of Scotland, the oldest Crown jewels, and the Stone of Destiny used for inaugurating monarchs. Visit the Great Hall, completed in 1511, with its original hammerbeam roof and weapon collections. Explore the Prisons of War Exhibition in the vaults below the Great Hall, showcasing the imprisonment of pirates and prisoners of war. Learn about the One o'clock Gun, fired daily except on specific days, signaling the time to ships in the Firth of Forth. Enjoy an Afternoon Tea experience (booking is required, in addition you get Castle admission) If you had the chance to spend one night at Edinburgh Castle, would you take it? 🤔😍🏰 #scotlandtravel
