This powerful stronghold atop a volcanic rock overlooks the river Forth where the Lowlands and Highlands meet, with several famous battles taking place within view of the castle walls. During less turbulent times, the castle was a beautiful place for Scottish royalty to relax, enjoy hunting, raise family, and hold court. It was even home to young Mary Queen of Scots, James VI, and James I during their childhoods. Some must see features of this magnificent landmark are the Great Hall, Royal Palace, Chapel Royal, Great Kitchens, Queen Anne Gardens, Palace Vaults, and more. If you want to learn about the secrets held within the castle walls, join us for an unforgettable trip.
