Roslin Castle (Scotland) reconstruction suggestion not as famous as the nearby Chapel. A Sinclair stronghold. Burnt in the Wars of the Rough Wooing and attacked by Oliver Cromwell's forces in 1650. Both forces attacked from the side as a frontal assault would be madness.
Europe might be famous for its medieval fortresses, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the world doesn’t have beautiful castles worth traveling for

#TopkapiPalace#Istanbul#Turkey
The palace was the political center of the Ottoman Empire between the 15th and 19th centuries until they built Dolmabahce Palace by the waterside. Its construction was ordered by Mehmed the Conqueror, six years after the conquest of Constantinople
Castle of #Caen#France
With an area of 5.5 hectares, it is one of the largest castles in Europe. The castle was built in 1060 by William the Conqueror; his son Henry I then built the Saint George's church, a keep and a large hall for the ducal Court
#BuckinghamPalace#London#UK
The Queen's official London residence and a center of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning
From motte and bailey ruins to a closely guarded secret kept hidden behind locked gates, these castles are worth a visit. (VIDEO)

Spandau Citadel #Berlin#Germany
This is one of the best-preserved Renaissance military structures of Europe. Built atop a medieval fort on an island created by the meeting of two small rivers, this renaissance fortress holds the oldest building in Berlin
