Edinburgh festivals

Here’s the world-famous Edinburgh Castle in Scotland’s capital city, which hosts the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, a Scottish experience with bagpipes, drums and plenty of kilts. Enthusiastic visitors can also indulge in whisky and haggis in one of the many hostelries on the Royal Mile, the colourful historic street that wends its way from the castle down to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Queen Elizabeth II’s official residence in Scotland.
