Edinburgh Castle

Only 30 minutes drive from Powfoulis Hotel you'll find Edinburgh Castle. Scotlands most famous castle stands high above Princes Street in Edinburgh. The original castle dates back to the 14th Century and is now home to the Crown Jewels, Stone of Destiny and of course Edinburghs grand Tattoo.

Those who have visited Edinburgh will know there is nothing quite like the One O'clock gun to let you know it's time for lunch. The gun is fired every day without fail at 1300 hours and can be heard for miles around.

Guided tours are available from the castle stewards and also via audio equipment (available in several languages). Adults=£3, Concessions=£2 and Child=£1.

When visiting the castle it's well worth taking an afternoon stroll up the Royal Mile. This truely historic street is packed with stunning achitecture, traditional pubs and Scottish gift shops as well as the many street entertainers you'll pass on the journey.

Don't forget to take a walking ghost tour in the evening. The Royal Mile has many ghostly locations and there are several tour companies only to happy to show you the spooky sites.
