Edinburgh Castle


I love Edinburgh Castle! Wanna know why? Here's 3 reasons.
1. It's located on a volcanic rock. Don't worry. It's intact now. It has always afforded the ultimate safe and defensive position in Edinburgh.
2. Esplanade. At the top of the Royal Mile, in front of the castle, is a long sloping forecourt known as the Esplanade. It is upon this Esplanade that the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo takes place annually. From the Esplanade may be seen the Half Moon Battery, which is a dominant feature visible in Nasmyth's painting.
3. Edin
burgh's fortress as a centre of military activity.
As an ancient fortress Edinburgh Castle is one of the few that still has a military garrison, albeit for ceremonial purposes. Nevertheless, the Castle continues to have a strong connection with the Army. Sentries still stand watch at the castle gatehouse between 6pm and 9am, with responsibility for guarding the Honours of Scotland.

the "Number Ten"


I've found a 5-star hotel in Edinburgh. It's called the "Number Ten". This 5-star hotel has free Wi-Fi and stylish rooms with 42-inch plasma flat-screen TVs, DVD players and slate bathrooms. It is in Edinburgh city centre, 800 metres from Princes Street. Number Ten is a historic Georgian house in a quiet location in Edinburgh New Town. The hotel is close to the business districts and financial centres. The rooms have luxury bed linen and a choice of pillows. There are real hardwood floors and antique furniture from China. The Bacchus restaurant offers food that is fresh, organic, and locally sourced wherever possible. There is a bar and the night porter can serve drinks after midnight. Guests can use the large swimming pool and gym at the Caledonian Hotel on Princes Street. A small additional cost applies.

The Andaz Liverpool Street London Hotel

The Andaz Liverpool Street London at 40, Liverpool Street, London. I like this hotel because it is located in the city center. The price per night is $488. And when
I mean in the city center, I mean in the heart of London. The other reason I like it because it has confortable rooms, 5 restourants, 5 bars and a health club. Andaz rates are inclusive of WiFi, local landline phone calls and healthy mini-bar (organic juices, water & snacks).
