The National Gallery of Scotland houses the country's fine art collection from the early Renaissance to the late 19th century. Through the art works, you can understand the historical trajectory of Scotland, so it is one of Edinburgh's popular tourist attractions.

I specifically mentioned that I have never been to Mary King's Close. This ancient image really makes me feel like I have traveled through time, and it also gives us a particularly good feeling of reminiscing about the past.

Similar to the story of Hachiko, the dog's legs have been rubbed until they are shiny. Outside the Greyfriars Church in Edinburgh, there is a bronze statue of a dog. It was built to commemorate the loyal dog Bobby! It is worth a visit.

This is the second largest botanical garden in the UK after Kew Gardens in London. It is located in the suburbs of Edinburgh, but it only takes half an hour to walk here. It is free except for the greenhouse. The park is a typical British gardening landscape.

The National War Museum is located in Edinburgh Castle. There is also a Scottish War Memorial in the castle, which preserves archives of war-related regiments. The War Museum in the castle displays major battles in which the Scottish regiments participated, simulated cannons, officers' uniforms and ranks from different eras, and other items, recreating the glorious history of Edinburgh. There is an observation tower here with a great view. There is a stone statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig on horseback at the entrance.
