Edinburgh Castle is worth a visit. It is an important symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh. It is located on the top of the Castle Rock in Edinburgh. It is very obvious and can be seen from every corner of the city center. It is 120 meters above sea level and you can overlook the whole city of Edinburgh from above.

&quot;The bagpipes came from afar, I only care about your news. The castle is a secret for love, and I am a memory for you.&quot; This is the location of Zhou Dong&#39;s &quot;Ming Ming&quot; MV, and the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s Harry Potter creation. If you dream of a medieval ancient city in a magical world, you must visit here in your life. Every building is a natural film background, and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world. Eventually, when the sunset in Carlton Hill confiscated time, Edinburgh, becoming an ever-fading amber, will remain in my memory.
