Stone-Ston, whose defensive walls have the reputation of "Europe's Great Wall of China", only an hour walk to visit the town! The ruins are broken, but the world is independent by the sea, and the beauty is crying. Here you can feel the residential houses in the old castle and maintain the medieval atmosphere of life.

Edinburgh, a city worth visiting. The castle is on the hillside, very close to the train station and within walking distance. Ctrip ticket purchase is more cost-effective than the official. Scan the QR code of the order directly to enter. It was a pity that it rained on the day I went. It is recommended to rent a guide, otherwise, you will enter the castle and circle around, and you don't know the history. The castle looks at the city of Edinburgh above, and the scenery is good. The next day, at the foot of the mountain, in the evening, the sunset hits the castle above, so beautiful.

National Parks

The center of the Scottish plateau is surrounded by Mount Kanegom, which covers a tenth of the area of Scotland, and is "Kainegom National Park". There are ideal ski resorts in the park, and there are five ski resorts in Scotland, which account for three. Moreover, the geographical environment of the park seems to be completely preserved, except for a few castles and small villages. That is why a 250 km walk in the park is popular with backpackers. Walking on this trail, in addition to fully feeling the wildness of the Scottish Highlands, there is still some relief for the Huaigu complex.

Lovely place with a great 360 view on the city of Edinburgh down below. From one side you can see the Edinburgh castle and the Balmoral hotel, then if you keep turning on the left you can admire Arthur Seat in all of its glory. And you can spot the sea behind it.If you keep turning you can see up to Leith, the shore and then the all Firth of Forth.On sunny days you can see the isle of Inchkeith.And you can even spot the other side of the Forth Bridges.I would definitely suggest to come during the day and a second time to watch the sun set behind the castle.If you come on the 30 of April (with a ticket) you can witness the Beltane Fire Festival. A pagan celebration of the death of winter and the coming of spring/summer

The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town as it runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The name derives from it being the traditional processional route of monarchs,with a total length of approximately one Scots mile.The streets which make up the Royal Mile are: Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand.Today, the Royal Mile is an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, where you’ll often find events, stands, entertainers and buskers, especially during the Edinburgh Fringe.Try walking all of it and explore the closes as well, as most have an interesting story and/or and amazing view.A part from the castle and the royal palace, the Royal Mile is full of buildings of historical importance. Just to list a few: The Castle Esplanade (a venue for Edinburgh Military Tattoo and other events); the former Tolbooth-Highland-St John's Church; the preserved 17th century merchant's townhouse Gladstone's Land; High Court of Justiciary (Scotland's supreme criminal court); the old Parliament House which now houses the Court of Session (Scotland's supreme civil court); St Giles' Cathedral, the Heart of Midlothian (a heart-shaped pattern built into the "setted" road, marking the site of the Old Tolbooth); Edinburgh City Chambers; Mercat Cross; Tron Kirk; John Knox's House; one of Edinburgh’s all around the year Christmas shop; Scottish Storytelling Centre; World's End Pub; Moray House; the Canongate Tolbooth (now a museum of social history called The People's Story); the Kirk of the Canongate and the new Scottish Parliament Building.

St Andrews Cathedral, once known as Scotland's greatest medieval building, is now a ruin due to war and time, only a few ruins left us vaguely to see the gorgeousness of hundreds of years ago. The two spires of the ruins of the church have become iconic buildings in St Andrew. Although a relic, backed by the North Sea, the scenery is infinitely good.
