Edinburgh Castle
This most famous of castles dominates Scotlands capital and gives stunning views of the city and countryside. St Margarets Chapel; the enormous 500 year old seige cannon Mons Meg; the Great Hall; The Royal Palace
and the Scottish National War Memorial are here together with the highly acclaimed "Honors of the Kingdom" exhibition which traces the history of Scotland's Crown Jewels and culminates in a visit to the Crown Room.
The vaults were where foreign prisoners-of-war were held, particularly those captured in the wars with France in the 18th and 19th centuries. Some of the grafitti scrawled by the prisoners can still be seen.
