Today I have decided to share a few photos of Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. First, these pictures today are all ones I took when I visited in August of 2007. The castle sits atop Castle Rock in the center of Edinburgh as can be seen above. The castle is the second most visited tourist site in Scotland.
This picture above is prior to the beginning of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, which takes place in August in the esplanade in front of the castle.
This third picture is looking up at the castle from the Prince's Street Gardens below the castle. The castle was a Scottish royal residence from the 1100s until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. The Scottish crown jewels are housed in the appropriately named Crown Room at the castle as well. Finally, one thing I find very interesting about the castle that can be seen in the photos here is that it looks so very different from various vantage points.
