Castles and Palaces

Edinburgh’s architectural landscape is defined by its defensive history and royal connections. This collection features Edinburgh Castle, a 12th-century fortress perched atop an extinct volcano, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the monarch’s official Scottish residence known for its Renaissance design and 12th-century abbey ruins. The list includes the UNESCO-listed Calton Hill, home to the National Monument, alongside grand residential estates like the mid-19th-century Scottish Baronial Carlowrie Castle and the Gothic-style Melville Castle near Dalkeith.
