Attractions to visit

It has loads of ancient artefacts like clothing, weapons, and even the Crown Jewels. Walk along the pavements of the Royal Mile from the Castle. Though a busy street, it has various museums, shops, and cafes. Another part of the medieval city’s skyline is the St. Giles Cathedral, a church that dates back to the 14^th century. Explore the large collection of antique objects in the National Museum of Scotland. This is the best place to learn about the culture of fashion, art, science, and technology in Scotland.
