Top 10 things to do

#1
Edinburgh Castle

The city of Edinburgh is dominated by the huge Edinburgh Castle, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the Crown Jewels of Scotland, and the National War Museum of Scotland. There's a good chance you'll hear some bagpipes.

#2
Palace of Holyroodhouse

The Palace of Holyroodhouse, at the bottom of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, is the King's official residence when he's in Scotland. Visitors can explore the 14 state rooms in this 16th-century palace, still used during royal ceremonies!

#3
The Scotch Whisky Experience

Right on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, the Scotch Whisky Experience is an over-18s trip into the world of whisky. This replica distillery will educate you on the tastes of flavors of Scotland's favorite tipple, and probably get you a little tipsy.

Blair Street Underground Vaults

Whatever the story is, these vaults have a rich and fascinating history.
