2) Scotland is great, and way nicer than the English (I am English) but Glaswegians are notably friendlier than Edinburgians. Scots like to claim Edinburgh is English and this probably has a shade of demographically truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzQiX_hD4FI
3) Those castles are pretty great, and I don't think I can trump them in terms of historical fame/ notability but if you want really MASSIVE and genuinely medieval castles in the British Isles you need to go to Wales (if you haven't already). Caernarfon castle is ye olde big brother material https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caernarfon_Castle#/media/File:Caernarfon_Castle_1994.jpg The Welsh are also much nicer than the English.
When I lived in Edinburgh I climbed Arthur's seat at least four times. The most memorable was one summer night. Clubs closed at 2 am when I lived there. The sun rose at about 3 am there at the height of summer. So two friends of mine (hope you are both doing well Hassan and Ben) and I decided to climb the seat and watch the sunrise (while fairly drunk mind you). It was glorious and a memory I will always treasure. Glad you got to see the old town, it is a great place.
I’ve lost track of the no. of times I’ve been back to Edinburgh since I studied at University of Edinburgh in 1972! Hope to return next June - the most glorious month w sun til 10 pm! Always worth spending time in Scotland! So glad you’ve discovered its essence in ur short stay. 🏴
Excellent. A few thoughts:

That is a very nice looking castle.

Edinburgh is one of my favorite places!
I adore Scotland. And Mike Meyers (he does a Scottish character in So I Married An Axe Murderer too that is my fav)
I’m not sure that I’m capable of singing Saturday night without a Scottish accent
