One of the alleged inspirations for Hogwarts, Edinburgh Castle is arguably the most impressive building in the city. Sitting atop an extinct volcano right in the city centre, the castle boasts unbeatable views across Edinburgh’s Old Town, and out towards the sea. Its typical dark stones have been rumoured to have contributed to Rowling’s image of Hogwarts. Entry to the castle costs only £17.50 per person, including access to all attractions inside, and can also be booked in advance. #edinburgh #harrypotter #scotland
