Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle is an ancient stronghold perched on top the craggy remains of an extinct volcano. It was believed to have been the site of an Iron Age fort. Among its attractions are the Great Hall, a great siege gun Mons Meg, and the tiny room where Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to James VI of Scotland and I of England. It has been in use by assorted military forces since prehistoric times and only transferred from the Ministry of Defence recently.
