The magnificent castle embodies the history, culture, and glory of Scotland. The visitor pathways and signage were well-organized, and there was even an audio guide in Mandarin, which allowed tourists like us who don't speak English to gain a deeper understanding of the castle. The staff at the visitor center were warm and attentive, and the police officers in the square outside the castle were friendly and responsible, helping me find my lost wife.
M54***71Visiting the Palace of Holyroodhouse was easily one of the highlights of my time in Edinburgh. Located right at the end of the Royal Mile, it offers a fascinating contrast to the medieval drama of Edinburgh Castle, providing a much more intimate glimpse into British and Scottish royal history.
Anonymous userIt was truly awe-inspiring, giving us a glimpse into the world's largest and most authoritative Titanic-themed museum (Titanic Belfast), built on the original site of the Titanic's birthplace—the former Harland & Wolff shipyard. (Figure 1) The museum opened on March 31, 2012, the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking. The building stands 38.5 meters tall, the same height as the Titanic's hull; its angular design symbolizes the bow and iceberg. (Figure 5) The Titanic's original route was: Belfast (built/launched) → Southampton (the port of departure for the maiden voyage and where most passengers boarded) → Cherbourg (France), where wealthy French and American passengers boarded → Cough (Ireland), the last stop in Europe → never docked again, sailing directly into the Atlantic Ocean and sinking. (Figure 6) The square seen from the museum windows is the site of the original Thompson Dry Dock (Figure 4), now marked with the outlines of the Titanic and its sister ship, the Olympic. The Titanic on the left is drawn to its full length and width, with the original locations of first/second/third class cabins, decks, funnels, bridge, and lifeboats marked (Figures 3 and 7). The museum authentically recreates many ordinary yet courageous life stories, such as: the violin played by the conductor who insisted on performing until the very last moment, the shipbuilding chief engineer's blueprints (Figure 8), and the pocket watch that sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with its owner, time forever frozen at that moment (Figure 9). Standing at the birthplace of the Titanic, one truly understands that encounter and farewell a century ago. Steel remembers, the waves echo, grandeur and regret coexist; history is far more moving than any film. May every story be gently remembered. 🌊
Anonymous userVery nice experience. You will get a free whisky glass after the wine tasting session. We acquired a lot of whisky knowledge and overall it is very interesting.
D Day TravelAwesome place! Had an amazing experience—highly recommended for everyone to visit!
M AhemI traveled to the Scottish Highlands for the first time in early January. I saw that the souvenirs from the same tour had the appearance of this cow, so I searched where I could see the real thing! This highland cow is really cute The long hair covers both eyes, Taiwanese also call it "Jay Cow" 😂😂
jackyauThe National Museum of Scotland is a fusion of Victorian architecture and modern design. The exhibits in the museum cover themes such as natural history, science and technology, and world culture, including representative exhibits such as Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils, Iron Age gold ornaments, and cloned sheep Dolly specimens, covering all aspects of social life.
苏河家园Princes Street in Edinburgh is the main avenue that separates the old and new cities. Walking on this street, you can not only enjoy the pleasant gardens and the magnificent castle, but also enjoy shopping😁😁
