Edinburgh Castle sits at one end of the Royal Mile while the active Holyrood Palace sits at the other end. The entire structure sits upon a big rock and was really the throne of Scotland for some time. "To control the castle was to hold the keys to the kingdom." This place has seen so much life and death and functions still as part of a military base. Mostly, it serves as a remnant to the past, a window into a different time when kings and queens and warlords owned the earth.
