There are two guard sculptures at the gate of the castle. They are Robert Bruce, an important king in Scottish history and the crown Robert I, who led the Scots to defeat the English army and ensure the independence of the kingdom. And William Wallace, the most inspiring soldier in Scottish national history (yes, the prototype of Mel Gibson's Brave Heart). They were all the greatest heroes in Scotland during Queen Victoria's reign. The logo above the gate is a red lion symbolizing Scotland. Edinburgh Castle became a royal castle in the 6th century, more than 200 years earlier than Leeds Castle in England, more than 400 years earlier than Windsor Castle, and more than 600 years earlier than Heidelberg Castle in Germany. From the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries it was the castle where the Scottish royal family lived. It was not until the 16th century that the Hollywood Palace was completed that the Scottish royal family moved down from the hill. The castle is the spiritual symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh. As a former Imperial Palace and military fortress, it not only tells the history of the Scottish nation, but also witnesses the vicissitudes of Scotland. In the long history of the struggle between Scotland and England, Edinburgh people showed their strong and unyielding spirit, which embodied the whole Scottish spiritual style. Edinburgh Castle is divided into Lower Ward, Middle Ward and Upper Ward along the slope. There are dozens of visiting sites including Scottish National War Memorial, The Royal Palace and St. Margaret's Chapel. The whole Edinburgh is overlooked from the platform. Edinburgh Castle has witnessed so many stories of England and Scotland in their long history of war and marriage that today we can see so many cannons, walls, war memorials and war museums in the castle. On the square outside the museum stands a riding statue of World War I Marshal Douglas Hague. Hagrid was an important commander of the West Front during World War I, and directly commanded the famous Battle of the Somme River. Most noteworthy is Royal Palace, which displays the most famous town treasure in Scottish history, the Stone of Destiny and the glory of Scotland. Except for Friday, Sunday and Christmas, a 105mm gun fires at 1 p.m. once a day. This tradition, which began in 1861 and was used to calibrate distant ships, continues today. The reason for choosing one point is said to be that the Scots are more frugal, and it takes only one shot to fire a gun at one point. Haha, Scottish people, I really obeyed U! After that, you can take pictures with the person who fired the gun. There are restaurants in the castle, but things are expensive. A slice of pizza weighs 9 pounds. Notice one slice, not one; we just ordered a slice of pizza, a cake and a cup of coffee, totaling 14.9 pounds.
