Is it worth paying to visit Edinburgh Castle?

Going to the castle is one of the most amazing and satisfying experiences I have had. The price of £18 per adult has to be considered but for an old'un like me £14.50 was excellent value for money. The Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed. We landed in the morning and decided to spend the afternoon at the castle.

As a historical site, the castle complex can be difficult to access and navigate, especially for those with mobility difficulties - the whole site is on a steep hill, rising to a summit, and there are staircases around both the interior and exterior spaces, with uneven surfaces throughout.

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.
