How long is the queue for Edinburgh Castle?

You can expect to queue for at least 15 - 20 mins before being ushered quickly past the Jewels. In our opinion, it really isn't worth the wait and children will get bored with the queue. The castle also contains the National War Museum of Scotland and the Regimental Museum of the Royals Scots Dragoon Guards.
