Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle is the largest visitor attraction for this capital city with 1.2 million visitors each year. Edinburgh Castle dominates the city skyline and certainly worth a visit from a cultural and historic perspective. For cheap tickets to Edinburgh Castle, an Explorer Pass not only offers discounted entry to the castle but offers you a fastrack access that by-passes the long entrance queues.
The Explorer Pass combines flexibility with a discounted price on the vast majority of Scotland’s historic visitor attractions. The Explorer Pass offers ‘free’ entry to over 78 historic/heritage visitor attractions within Scotland over a 5 or 14 day period, (for which your pass is valid on 3 or 7 days respectively.). So if you wish to combine Edinburgh Castle with Stirling Castle, Glasgow Cathedral or Urquhart Castle, it’s worth checking out the Explorer Pass.
One top tip for Edinburgh Castle to pass on – do the dungeons last as the exit takes you away from the castle grounds. Keep an eye out for the dog’s cemetary and 1000 year old throne too.

If you do go and visit Stirling Castle I’d recommend
I liked the visit to Stirling Bridge – can see the Castle and the Wallace Monument
Yes, Stirling Castle comes under the Explorers Pass which is a great way to visit a number of historic attractions at a discounted ticket price – well worth the investment!
