I decided that a video would be neat to take of the initial view of Edinburgh from the Castle.  After this I hiked up these stairs to continue on the audio tour.  There were numbers under certain banners that you could input into the audio headset tour guide.  They would give you a historical explanation of what you were looking at.  The audio guide was pretty cool and gave you the total freedom to go anywhere in the Castle at any point in time.

This first pic was a small model of Edinburgh Castle.  I saw many cannons along side the walls of this Castle.

Now, this is by far the biggest darn cannon I have ever seen.  Humongous!  It's called Mons Meg.  HUGE!  It was so funny to see everyone stick their head in it.  I have no idea how heavy those stones were.  The stones reminded me of those Strongest Man In The World Competitions that you find on Television at times where huge guys are having to pick up huge stones as a show of strength.
