About the experience
Standing proud on Edinburgh’s skyline at the top of Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle has long held fascination and interest for many years. And now you and a loved one or friend can get the chance to step inside and discover centuries of history with a tour around Edinburgh Castle, followed by a three course meal at one of the Old Town end of Edinburgh’s top restaurants. As you walk up the cobblestoned Royal Mile, which the Castle is situated at the end of, with tickets in hand, you’ll get to really take in the excitement of stepping foot into this old Iron Age fort from the 11th century, that has bore witness to numerous births, death, sieges and battles in its time, with over 2 million visitors a year making it the second most visited paid tourist attraction in the UK. Of course, nowadays, it’s best recognised as the home of the annual Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo that takes place annually every August. The British Military still has a presence at the castle - hence the sentries - and there’s also a working Garrison and numerous regimental museums situated inside the castle. Not only this, but there’s also the Sentry guarded Scottish Crown Jewels, first worn by Queen Mary in 1543, the one o’clock gun fire, and beside St Margaret’s chapel - one of the oldest standing chapels in Scotland, built in 1130 - one of the largest siege guns in Europe - Mons Meg. After all of that history to take in, you can then make your way to Gusto Italian to enjoy the very best modern Italian cuisine with a three course meal to bring your day out in Edinburgh to a fitting conclusion!
