Location: Edinburgh City Centre
Edinburgh Castle, a historic fortress that dominates the skyline of Scotland's capital from its position atop Castle Rock, is an iconic symbol of Scottish heritage and a must-visit landmark for travellers from around the globe. This ancient stronghold holds centuries of history within its walls, offering visitors a captivating journey through Scotland's tumultuous past. From the Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny to the Great Hall and St. Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, each corner of the castle tells a story, echoing the lives of kings, queens, and soldiers who once roamed its grounds.
The castle's strategic location provides breathtaking panoramic views of Edinburgh, making it a perfect spot for photographers and sightseers alike. As you wander through its gates, you're not just exploring a castle; you're stepping into the pages of history, where every stone and artifact has a tale to tell. Beyond its historical significance, Edinburgh Castle also hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, including the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo, an unparalleled spectacle of music, colour, and light.
My son and I took a wonderful Golf and Whiskey Tour in Scotland through ProScot Golf Tours Ltd. The proprietors, John and Nicola, did an amazing job planning and executing our tour. They recommended great golf courses consistent with our playing ability and arranged several personalized scotch distillery tours that let us sample some of the best scotches in scotland! We can't thank them enough for making the trip so amazing!
Read moreHighly recommend ProScot Golf Tours to be your go to when booking a trip to Scotland. John and Nicola had everything set for us and John took great care touring us around for our 5 day bucket list golf trip as we travelled from Canada. John made us feel at home and we had lots of laughs along the way. We were able to play Royal Troon, Prestwick, St Andrew’s Old Course and Carnoustie. ProScot had our hotel and dinner reservations in advance, food was great, everything was on schedule. Sprinter van was new and clean for our travels. Excellent trip for us start to finish!! Thanks again John and Nicola! We will be back…

To top it off, I made a hole-in-one on the fifth hole at Panmure!
