Best Edinburgh Castle Tours from Dublin

See Edinburgh's most famous and iconic attraction and the oldest building in the city. Edinburgh Castle dominates the city skyline atop Castle Rock. The castle has been a royal residence as well as a military fortress. The gateway to the castle is flanked by statues of Robert the Bruce and William Wallace and opens to a cobbled lane that leads up beneath the 16th-century Portcullis Gate. The castle is also home to the famous One o’clock Gun, where crowds gather to watch the cannon fire at exactly 1 p.m. every day except Sunday, and St. Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh.
