I was surprised to walk a block from our apartment and be able to see the Castle in the not-so-distant distance.
Lorna decided to tend her cold which is still hanging on while Steve, Chris, Jeff and I climbed up to the Castle. If you are coming to Scotland and want to go to things like this, buy your tickets online ahead of time. They do sell out.
We had tickets for 9:30, when the gates open. There were people, of course, but not as many as there were when we left.
The views from the castle are expansive…
And there are more buildings inside the castle walls than you might think. Too many to fit in just one photo.
And interesting details…
We walked down most of the Royal Mile after the castle. Yes, the buildings are interesting but it’s a lot a shopping. And we don’t have any more room in our bags 🤣.
No matter where you walk in this part of Edinburgh, there is something to see.

So many beautiful photos from Edinburgh. We didn’t get to visit the castle while we were in the city last month, but I loved how we could see the mighty fortress from while exploring different parts of the city. My favourite was the view from the Castle Street! Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 😊 Aiva xx
