Edinburgh Castle: Stepping into a Living History Book! 🏰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#summervacay
Walking up the sloping Royal Mile towards Edinburgh Castle, I felt as if I was stepping straight into a weighty history book. The cobblestones underfoot whispered with a faint sound, an echo, perhaps, of countless footsteps that have trod this path over hundreds of years. Buildings steeped in medieval charm lined the street as I ascended towards the fortress perched majestically on volcanic rock. Edinburgh Castle stands there like a timeless guardian, awaiting visitors atop the city.

Upon entering the castle, the very first sight that truly made me pause was the impressive row of cannons facing the city at the Argyle Battery. These cannon muzzles pointed resolutely towards the horizon, offering a panoramic view that stretched all the way to the vast Firth of Forth. It truly felt as if they were still diligently safeguarding the city's tranquility. What an immersive and powerful experience!
