Did you know?
Edinburgh Castle stands on top of an ancient volcano!
Perched on Castle Rock, an extinct volcano that last erupted more than 340 million years ago, the castle overlooks the entire city. This naturally defensive position once made it an almost impregnable fortress and today offers some of the most spectacular views in Scotland.
