Like Tower of London in London, the Edinburgh Castle is the place to be at Edinburgh for United Kingdom history. Kings and Queens of Scotland lived here in the middle ages, battles were fought around the castle, and head rolled in the court yard.




Me outside the entrance of the Edinburgh Castle.



Me with the tour guide of the Castle. I wanted to take a picture with the guide because he wore a kilt, but the guy I asked to take the picture for me decided that kilt had no place inside the viewer of the camera.



The one o'clock gun of the Edinburgh Castle. The gun fires every day at one o'clock to mark the time. The reason of firing the gun at one o'clock instead of noon? They have to fire the gun twelve times to mark twelve o’clock. Fire once is far less expensive, or so they said.
