The castle looms over the city, perched on a cliff. At night, when the castle is all lit up, it offers one of the most spectacular views of the city.
Edinburgh is a must see, a very important part of Scottish history, and not like any other castle or palace I've seen in England.
This is what we did, and I highly recomend the same for anyone: Three of us went to a tour company on the corner of Cockburn and the Royal mile called Rabbies. They offered us a ticket that gets us into both Stirling castle and Edinburgh castle for only 8 pounds, which is a very good deal. We went to E-burgh castle that day and explored throughout Edinburgh and then the next day we caught up with a bus tour (Rabbies) that took us out to Stirling, Loch Lomand, and the Trossachs for about 20 pounds. Definitely worth it, but I'll review the bus company later.
So be there, or be square.
