Edinburgh Castle is the number one visitor attraction in Scotland with over one million visitors every year. It's located at the heart of Scotland's Capital and the views of the City from its battlements are amazing.
photographic collection of Edinburgh would not be representative without including shots of the Castle. The best views of it are from Calton Hill, the Scott Monument and Salisbury Crags down in Holyrood Park. These classic views are certainly ideal for posters, brochures and guidebooks bit they can get a bit old since they are overdone and overused.
However, Edinburgh Castle needn't be boring. Views of the fortress up on Castle Rock from unusual places can create a fresh perspective. Such unique spots are Blackford Hill, the Dean Gallery of Modern Art, Greyfriars Kirkyard, The Meadows and the Grassmarket.
Great events also make for great photos which is why you cannot go wrong with photographs of Edinburgh Castle taken during the Fireworks Concert, the New Year Fireworks or the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
