Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh or even Scotland is the spiritual symbol, stands in the death of volcanic rocks on top of the high overlooking the city of Edinburgh, held every August in the military band-past (military tattoo), but will the atmosphere of majestic Edinburgh Castle revealed. People who travel to Edinburgh will not miss the Edinburgh Castle, because it is an extinct volcano granite top, can be seen in every corner of the city center. Edinburgh Castle in the 6th century the royal fortress, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal residence and has since become an important national administrative center. Edinburgh's attraction lies in its antiquity. It became Scotland in the 6th century royal fortress, Leeds Castle in England earlier than 200 years, 400 years earlier than Windsor Castle, the castle of Heidelberg in Germany more than a 600 years earlier. After I visited two castles, if on the charm, obviously not as good as it. From the ancient war in the sense that, Edinburgh is undoubtedly the most advantageous strongest bastion of the most difficult to overcome. It was constructed on the death of a volcanic rock 135 meters above sea level on top, side slopes, cliffs on three sides, as long as the slope of the castle to hold the door, it is impregnable, the enemy even if we have millions of soldiers, it is helpless. It is also difficult to match other ancient castle. Scottish history style, only to the cannons on the castle walls, among the War Memorial and Museum. Real "swords and guns in storage, horses, Nanshan." In the pursuit of peace and development of the times, we can get a touch, feel it and it is the creation and building of a civilization. The creation and construction, has a long but also the modern, the results are so proud of Edinburgh. Built 420 years ago, world history, one of the oldest universities in the University of Edinburgh, make them proud of their pioneering university education; three or four hundred years ago, began the construction of more than ten story building, so that they dare to ridicule the Americans : At the time, New York, but a small village and trading post! We do not see the damage caused by the war, but everywhere can see the beautiful building brings. Prince Avenue's bustling and modern, the prince of peace and charming park, gave the people of the city to enjoy the comfortable civilization. We stayed in that slide with private hotels, each with hundreds of square meters of backyard gardens, planted within the walls various flowers and trees and grass Jessica. I put down the luggage, opened the curtain, that is, see a few squirrels, pigeons and sparrows and harmony in the garden jumping for food. Boarded the plane behind the Carlton Hill, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, but also do not have a sense of beauty in the. Warm sun, not far west of the ancient castle, solemn and dignified; north about 3 miles away the sea calm and blue scene I saw --- this is the highest latitude of the sea. Top of the hill over the kinds of green lawn, showing the lovely weather of peace; that door is always idle cannons, but that the war gone the better. Way home, we came to the boundary between Scotland and England, I saw two people two feet high stone stand in middle of the road, north and south sides of the English words were the names of the two neighbors, which as a permanent boundary marker, witness the two enemies who have friends who love and hate. Now, I seemed to feel that they can only accept the fact that peace, lasting peace! Has become such a common sense of British citizens have been impregnable, one from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland United Kingdom, regardless of how the separation of forces of hope back, split, futility is futile. While a few Scots, had demonstrations, to fighting for independence, but the sub-mainstream public opinion, it 成不了气候. Have to visit Edinburgh again, and again enjoy the beauty of peace rhyme.
