Located in Edinburgh, Scotland, Edinburgh Castle sits atop a volcanic rock called &quot;Castle Rock&quot;. It is one of Scotland&#39;s most famous landmarks, combining rich history and architectural features.
Historical Background
● Construction period: Edinburgh Castle was built in the 6th century AD and is one of the oldest fortresses in Europe.
● Royal residence and military fortress: From 1070, the castle became the Royal Castle of Scotland, and from the 17th century it became a military base.
● Important events: The castle has experienced many sieges and wars. Although some buildings were destroyed in the war, the overall structure still stands.
Architectural Features
● Architectural style: It combines medieval stone fortifications and Victorian additions, showing architectural styles from various historical periods.
● Defensive structure: The heavy stone walls and high towers reflect the characteristics of medieval defensive buildings, and the slope and cliff design increase the castle&#39;s defensive capabilities.
Attractions and Exhibitions
● Scottish Crown and Stone of Destiny: The Scottish Crown and the &quot;Stone of Destiny&quot; are displayed in the castle. The latter is the stone that successive British monarchs must step on when they are crowned.
● Argyll Battery: Once used for defense, now it is a viewing platform overlooking the entire city of Edinburgh.
● Scottish National War Memorial: Displays items and letters of Scottish soldiers who died in World War II and other wars.

The view is good and the interior is not allowed to take pictures. The ticket is accompanied by a Chinese explanation, and the explanation is also very interesting, mainly used by the Scottish royal family between King David in Scotland in the 12th century and James VI in the 17th century, and the room where Mary and her husband Darnley were assassinated in Scotland.
