UK's best castles
Edinburgh Castle
What's it like?
The UK's greatest city castle, no question. Standing atop an extinct volcano, it's an imperious icon with amazing views of the city and beyond. A guided or audio tour is essential to take in with the castle's long history.
What's the story?
It was built in the 12th century by David I (St Margaret's chapel still stands from that time) and switched between English and Scottish hands several times. Much of it was rebuilt after a 16th-century sacking, and when James IV of Scotland became James I of England, in 1603, the castle's royal glory days were over.
