Todemmy
Karlavok Castle (Caerlaverock Castle), located at the intersection of Scotland and England, is a triangular castle with moats built in the 13th century, and like many other castles at the junction, it has witnessed bloody territorial disputes. The castle was the home of the Maxwell family until the 17th century when it was abandoned. It also witnessed the territorial struggle between England and Scotland. The Kerlezhek castle is now in ruins but still magnificent. There is an intriguing exhibition of siege war, and the medieval siege tools are rebuilt for tourists to visit.

A monastery of great old, built in the early 13th century. A lady built it in memory of her husband. After her death, the person who took over the monastery named it in memory of them. Like many other medieval buildings, there are only cemeteries and ruins left.

Kasik is a Victorian town, the largest town in the north of the Lake District, and it is the birthplace of the world's first graphite pencils. The weather was very good that day, tourists were everywhere in the town, and the town became very lively.

#2 of Best Things to Do in Edinburgh

The audio guide is pretty good—filled with a ton of interesting history. The grounds and the ruins of the abbey are beautiful. It’s kind of expensive considering it’s mostly just an audio guide of a building tax payers pay for, but the guides are helpful and I’d say it’s probably worth the money. Castle of Edinburgh is the far superior site, so definitely don’t go here instead, but if you have extra time in the city, it’s worthwhile. Note before you go: you can’t take photos inside the building.

The wisdom of Emperor Hadrian was due to his inclination to do nothing in the course of his 21 years in power, but to devote all his energy to the development of the empire. His diligence was due to the fact that the emperor had traveled almost the entire territory of imperial rule. Hadrian's Wall was built entirely because he felt the threat of the Scottish Celtic after he arrived in England, and it took six years to mobilize three legions, from 122 to 127, to complete a 73-mile fortification.
