Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle in the snow

Edinburgh Castle is a castle fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock.  There has been a royal castle here since at least the 12th century, and the site was a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.  From the later 17th century, the castle became a military base, with a large garrison.  -from Wikipedia
