During one of our days in Edinburgh, I joined an optional day trip to St. Andrews, a small university town about 2 hours from Edinburgh. The first place we visited there was the castle! A castle was first built on the site in the late 1100s, but has since been destroyed twice in battles between the English and the Scottish, and what we can see today dates from the 1550s.
There was a little museum display in the entrance building that led to the castle, so I walked through that and then explored the castle ruins. It was incredibly windy- people were leaning into the wind with most of their weight and not falling down. The castle overlooks the ocean and I loved the view!
