Castle Rock

The rock of Edinburgh Castle is built on an ancient volcanic cone. The garden of Princess Street enjoys the best view of the rock and castle. When walking, you can imagine the life of this place 400 years ago. The dog cemetery on the side is very touching.

About 300 million years ago, Castle Rock was an eruptive volcano that was buried beneath dunes and mud when volcanic activity stopped. In the Middle Ages, the builders chose a golden section here and saw evidence of the formation of volcanoes on the castle floor and outside.

Edinburgh Castle Rock is a black basalt rock, located in the old city of Edinburgh, often considered a hill. No one will deliberately use Castle Rock as a scenic spot, but in fact, Edinburgh Castle, the most famous scenic spot in Edinburgh, is situated on Castle Rock. Climbing this rock overlooks the whole city of Edinburgh.

The architectural style is the New Renaissance style. Just take a picture of the building on your back. Tourist Consulting Center is still worth passing on the first floor of the building.
