We agree with the book that this castle is really worth a visit. You can indulge yourself in Scottish history, visiting the Royal Palace and Scotland's Crown Jewels or the giant bombard cannon 'Mons Meg'. On a clear day, there are stunning views over the city and the sea. Moreover, you could witness the daily firing of the One O'Clock Gun and may more attractions.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
