5. Edinburgh Castle
Dominating the skyline of Scotland’s capital from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle today stands as the second-most-visited tourist attraction in the country. Boasting the 12th century St. Margaret’s Chapel, as well as the Royal Palace and 15th century Great Hall, it is a treasure trove of historically significant buildings. Currently in the care of Historic Scotland, this is without a doubt one of the most important fairytale castles you must visit in Scotland.
