Edinburgh's Royal Residences

I've been living in Edinburgh for about seven months now and this was my first time seeing its castles. They're beautiful! I had lots of opportunities to see them before but I decided to wait until visitors arrived so I wouldn't have to see them multiple times as it's a bit expensive to get in (I think about 14 pounds for the castle and 6 or 7 pounds for Holyrood)

A stronghold that has never been taken by force, only siege.
