Edinburgh is my favorite city in the whole world. I was lucky enough to visit a few years ago and have been planning to go back ever since. That's one of the reasons I collected the souvenir guidebooks from so many locations I found so interesting - so when I miss the city, I can go back, read the guides, and pretend I'm there again, even for a few minutes.
This guidebook is well put together and well written, tons of beautiful photographs, along with detailed descriptions of various locations within the castle walls, and the history of Castle Rock going back 3,000 years. I also greatly appreciated the suggestions for further readings listed in the back.
Edinburgh Castle has always been more of a military fortress, and I'm less interested in military campaigns than the castles as royal residences, but there's still a charm about the place. It's certainly breathtaking to see it's powerful and imposing outline commanding your attention as it looms over the city. This guide is a great read that does justice to an amazing part of Scotland's history.
