Going to Blackford Hill to see the Royal Observatory is an interesting building, unfortunately there are restrictions on daily visitors, opening hours are best to consult the local visitor centre, there is a long step to the top of the observatory with huge telescopes
The Royal Observatory in Edinburgh is in Carlton Hill, it is better to go in the sunny evening and see the sunset. The staff will help visitors with the moon and stars through the telescope. There are also meteorites and various advanced astronomical instruments.
The Royal Observatory of Ireland is located at the top of Carlton Hill, not very large, and a green vaulted honest astronomical observation building is very eye-catching, and is now built as a gallery, exhibition and sale of some contemporary artists' paintings to enjoy.
There are many wonderful exhibition designs that let people play while learning scientific knowledge. There are movies in it, but there are timetables.
景色特别美，透明层能把人吓尿。 感觉比国内矮点，晚上还蛮好看的，跟开瓶器一样
