You can easily get you a good impression that the castle from the outside, but if you are interested in history, I would recommend buying a ticket and seeing the castle on the other side of the castle walls. The castle is probably reminiscent of a castle than a traditional castle.

Among the castle’s main attractions include Scottish National War Memorial, The Royal Palace where you can see the Scottish crown jewels and the dungeon where you can walk around among swinging hammocks, gives a good impression of how inconvenient life as a prisoner has been.

Scotland is probably best known for its unsteady and rainy weather, but we were so lucky that the day we visited the castle, the sun was high in the sky. We were therefore given the opportunity to enjoy the unique view of the city from the castle.
