Hi,
I’ll be in Scotland in May2027. I am concerned about the difficulty walking up to Edinburg Castle?
TIA

Not sure what the question is, but one can take a cab most of the way there. From where the cab drops one off there is a couple hundred yards walk to get to the castle. I recall that being mostly flat. Within the castle there are some inclines to get to some of the castle sites.

If you can't walk up the hill to the front gate, then you can take a taxi. If you are unable to walk up from the draw bridge gate to the Crown Square inside the castle, there is usually a van for the mobility challenged, that goes from the Esplanade by a different route.
