Edinburgh Castle, Scotland - a photo on Flickriver

Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

The history of this magnificent castle runs back ages, with fortifications present on Castle Rock since the 12th century. I was only able to visit for one day, but got some magnificent shots of this great old beast. The views of Edinburgh from there are fantastic. Not just a castle, it's a major symbol of Scottish heritage, with their National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland plus St Margaret's Chapel located within it's old walls.
