Edinburgh Castle is a frequently besieged fortress that towers over the city and is home to the oldest British crown jewels and the National War Museum. The Baroque Palace of Holyroodhouse lies on the other end of Royal Mile and is said to be the favorite residence of Queens Victoria and Elizabeth II.

Your tour routes will also take you to Leith, where you can see another of Scotland's favorite visitor attractions: the luxurious Royal Yacht Britannia. This elegant vessel was the at-sea home of the British Royal family for 44 years.

With 1400 years of history, Edinburgh is home to more sights than one traveler could see - but that's no reason not to try!
