Really interesting glimpse into the Scottish military. It is included with your admission to the castle, and provides another look at a specific group of Scottish culture that you would not have a chance to experience otherwise.

Every Scotsman and woman should visit here to remember those that gave up their lives so that we can remain free from oppression.

Great! Lots of history, lots of great things to look at. And it's right on the castle grounds and included in your admission price.

While visiting Edinburgh Castle be sure to step in to the National War Museum. It is stunning! You can see the Celtic pride surrounding you and the history within those walls is amazing.
My only regret is that I couldn't take photos inside the Memorial. I sure would have loved photos for my keepsake book!

We rate this a DO NOT MISS. If you're interested in history in general, in the historical underpinnings of the legendary Highlanders, and the role of Scottish military thru out the world, GO and plan to spend some time!

A wonderful memorial to those that died in the Great War and subsequently WWII - if you are ONLY visiting this you can get free entrance - mention this when you visit the castle.

If you're a war buff, this is the place for you. If not, well, there are a few fun old recruitment posters and some nice uniforms to look at.
