Edinburgh Castle

#100waysoftravel ❓ Did you know that Edinburgh Castle is built on an extinct volcano? ℹ️ The rocky hill it stands on, known as Castle Rock, formed around 340 million years ago and provided a perfect natural defence, which made it a strategic military stronghold throughout Scottish history. Over the centuries, the castle has witnessed sieges, royal coronations, and even the mysterious disappearance of the Crown Jewels of Scotland, which were eventually rediscovered in 1818! 👑🔥
