Royal Mile and the Castle
must-seeFreeA sloping street between a castle on a volcano and a palace, with a closed lane at every step.
The one o'clock gun is fired from the castle every day except Sunday and is heard across the city: stand on Princes Street to see it without paying admission. It has kept time since 1861.
the street is free; Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace are charged separately
View detailsArthur's Seat
must-seeFreeAn extinct volcano of two hundred and fifty metres, twenty minutes from the centre, with the city below.
