Learn about royal history
Scotland is rich in history. All over the country, you can find castles, moors that once acted as battlefields and stories passed down through the generations. Edinburgh is the hub of Scottish history, with the Royal Mile and Old Town dating back to the 1700s. Edinburgh Castle looks over the city and was first constructed in the 12th Century but the land is thought to have been inhabited in some way since 2nd century AD.
