Edinburgh Castle most popular attraction NEWS
Edinburgh Castle has been announced as the most popular tourist attraction in Scotland, with a massive 1.2 million tourists visiting the iconic castle.
Edinburgh Castle has been confirmed as Scotland's most popular visitor attraction last year. With 1.2 million visitors, the castle beat all other Scottish competition to gain the highest number of tourists in the last 12 months with a rise of 1% on the previous 12 months.
Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop stated that 'The castle has sustained its numbers in the face of two unprecedented events - the ash cloud at the beginning of the year and the extreme weather at the end of the year... this illustrates the enduring appeal of the castle as a brand and the hard work of the staff to provide a world-class visitor experience.'
The castle is due to hold a variety of events this summer from the Edinburgh Tattoo in August to a concert by Arcade Fire in September.
