Edinburgh Castle is built high upon the basalt remains of a long extinct volcano, providing visitors with impressive views of the city and landscape beyond. The oldest part of the castle dates back to the Normans, and there are buildings and fortifications covering every period since.
The castle is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels (Honours), the Stone of Destiny, the giant 15th century siege gun, Mons Meg, the Scottish National War Memorial and the famous One O'Clock Gun, which is fired daily at 1.00pm. The castle also contains several military and regimental museums.

| Yes. Here is Edinburgh Castle, in the capital city of Scotland. Listed on this idiotic website as being in England and not The UK. Please refer yourself to a world map to find Edinburgh in England (sarcasm). |
