Castle views around Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a city built in many ways around its iconic castle. Stilling atop a volcanic plug, Edinburgh Castle has been at the heart of Scotland's capital city for centuries. Walk around the city to see it from our favourite locations ending up with a view from the Johnnie Walker 1820 Bar on Princes Street.
