Edinburgh Castle... it honestly looks like a movie set out of Hollywood... but it's REAL! Habitation of "the rock" goes back as far as the 9th Century BC.... huh?? That's OLD!! It intrigues me more than ANY structure that I've seen... such history! such beauty! I hope you enjoy this glimpse... (click to enlarge photos)
Young soldiers guard the castle... after I bought my ticket an older gentleman told me that he too... many years ago... was a young guard just like these... wow... what a heritage...
Come on in!... oh... wait... look at the photo below... are you friend or foe?? You might want to think about it before you enter! 
Breathtaking views from up here on the hill!
The Royal Jewels of Scotland are here.... they were absolutely beautiful... what was it like to wear them? Such royalty... did you know that Prince Philip is the current "Duke of Edinburgh"? He is the husband of Queen Elizabeth of England.
The castle on the hill... wouldn't you love to know the people who dwelled here? Did they feel "safer" to dwell behind these walls? Did they appreciate and enjoy it's beautiful view? How did they spend their days? A marvelous adventure!
