It is hugely unimpressive. Looks like a row of miners cottages in Seaham. Level it. Very poor. Very poor. Terrible. Eyesore. Eyesore. Eyesore. Eyesore. Eyesore. Eyesore.

This castle and all of its medieval splendor is worth the trip to Edinburgh alone. Be sure to box off about a half-day with a worthy guide to get the most from this fortress that has never fallen due to seige. (by treachery sure but not to seige.)

At the inner entrance of the castle two statues are ...
