Sights of Scotland
After days of browsing through the internet, you have finally found some great Scottish hotels. While you are thinking about which one to choose, let us recommend some great sites in the area. The Castle of Edinburgh is definitely a must-see. Edinburgh Castle is the city of Edinburgh’s 3,000 year-old landmark. It was built atop an extinct volcano ledge and its hillside is constructed of craggy rocks strewn with wildflowers. Bagpipers often play near the castle. The fortress was home to Scottish Kings and Queens including Mary Queen of Scots and its builder King Edwin of Northumbria for whom the castle and city is named. Inside, visitors can see the Scottish Crown, the room where Queen Mary gave birth to James VI, the Argyle Battery, the vaults and the prison. Each summer the Military Tattoo takes place at the castle. Make sure you visit this, and some other great sites while in Scotland.
