Edinburgh Castle Located on Castle Rock, a volcanic rock formation, Edinburgh Castle is an icon of the Scottish city. Its history dates back over a thousand years and it has played a crucial role in numerous historical events.
Edinburgh Castle is the iconic fortress crowning Castle Rock—a volcanic plug—above the Old Town. Once a royal residence, its oldest surviving building is St Margaret’s Chapel (c. 1130). Visitors can see the Honours of Scotland (the UK’s oldest crown jewels) and hear the famous One O’Clock . Note: the Stone of Destiny, formerly displayed here, moved to its new home at Perth Museum in 2024.
