Review:
Edinburgh is just one hour from Glasgow and the capital of Scotland. The old medieval town is mixed with Georgian New Town style and elegant gardens between neoclassical buildings. Edinburgh Castle looms over the entire city and stores famous Scotland crowned jewels and Stone of Destiny. The University of Edinburgh is also one of the best-ranked universities in the United Kingdom. Visitors can spend an entire day at each of these extraordinary attractions. The Castle is especially famous for tourists during holiday seasons, and annual festivals or public performances.
A large gift shop and two different cafes are also available the castle for visitors to enjoy. Other great attractions in Edinburgh include Palace of Holyroodhouse and Holyrood Abbey, The Royal Mile, Arthur’s Seat, Salisbury Crags, National Museum of Scotland, The Royal Botanic Garden, The National Galleries of Scotland, and St, Giles Cathedral.
