The guide will show you around the many areas of the stronghold and narrate its intriguing history once you're inside the castle walls. Three museums, two jails, a dog cemetery, the Chapel of Saint Margaret, the National Monument to the Fallen of Scotland, the Great Hall, and a Royal Palace are all located inside the complex.(TOUR WILL STAY OUTDOORS; there will be no building access throughout the tour.)
