This year, Castle of Light is helping to mark the capital's epic 900th anniversary in a showstopping celebration that will light up Edinburgh’s iconic skyline for a fifth fantastic year.

Hoisted high atop Edinburgh, as if monitoring the city below, Edinburgh Castle is not only one of Scotland's most recognized landmarks, but one of the country's most-visited attractions.

Major attractions in Edinburgh have closed as 'adverse weather' is set to hit the capital. Edinburgh Castle festive event has been cancelled on Sunday, December 15, as high winds have been forecasted.

The Duchess of Edinburgh, Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney and UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy were all in Edinburgh.
