Edinburgh Castle: Guardian of History.

Edinburgh Castle, a place of glory in the hearts of the Scottish people, has a unique political and cultural significance that is unparalleled in Scotland's past. As the political and cultural core of Scottish history, Edinburgh Castle enjoys a revered status that no other ancient castle has ever achieved. Over the years, it has not only been a witness, but also a participant, experiencing the changes of political situation and the baptism of military struggle, and always standing at the forefront of the times. On this land, the long-standing confrontation between the Scottish and the English, the perseverance and unyielding spirit shown by the people of Edinburgh, has long been deeply imprinted in the depths of the Scottish national soul, becoming a vivid portrayal of its unique spiritual style. However, this profound historical heritage and traditional spirit seem to have gradually faded from people's daily perception in the hustle and bustle of modern society. Entering Edinburgh Castle, the various weapons and military uniforms left over from the Middle Ages seem to tell the glory of the past, especially the five-foot-long rare giant sword, which is even more breathtaking. The legendary cannon from the hands of 15th-century Belgian craftsmen, after more than 200 battles, now lies quietly in the basement of the castle, becoming a guardian of history, silently telling the past glory and vicissitudes.
