    Tips

    Hiking

    Impressive castle looming on the hill over the city. Depending on the season the place before the castle can be either set-up for the big taptoe or filled with the queue to enter it - both blocking the direct sight. The view over the city from here is also worth the way up.

    Hiking

    Entry to the castle with the two national heroes of Scotland guarding the gate. The view over the old city from the yard in front is also great.
