Edinburgh castle - Scotland

Edinburgh Castle

Date: June 2016

Location: Scotland

Demolished:  No

During our trip to Scotland, we decided to visit Edinburgh Castle. Although it rained that day, it did not dampen our spirits as we enjoyed exploring the castle and taking in the sights. We would love to return someday.

 

We learned that the castle served as a royal residence until 1633. In the 15th century, there was an attempt to establish it as a residential location, but that proposal was unfortunately declined. Later, in the 17th century, it was used as military barracks housing a large garrison..
