Thank you for taking the time to review the Castle. It was disappointing to read that your visit did not meet your expectations. As the castle is a functioning military base, there are parts of the castle that are not open for visitors. Despite this, we believe there is a wealth of things to see and do at the castle. From the Crown Jewels, The One O’clock Gun and The Prisons of War exhibition to the National War Museum of Scotland, unrivalled views of the city, the Royal Palace and St Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Thank you for your feedback for your recent visit to the Castle. We do recommend booking online in advance to avoid to avoid waiting in line for tickets, as the castle can get very busy. In common with the vast majority of visitor attractions (and our own mission statement), we try to ensure that we are open for business and do not want to disappoint people who have made the effort to visit. We are very aware, however, that this growth in numbers has an impact on the visitor enjoyment of the site and we continue to review and consider ways to improve this situation. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback.
