Edinburgh Castle reopens tomorrow as lockdown restrictions ease Edinburgh Castle will reopen its doors to visitors tomorrow as covid restrictions ease. The castle is one of over 20 ticketed sites managed by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) that will reopen across Scotland on April 30, with tickets going on sale on a pre-booked basis to the public earlier this month. This includes some of Scotland’s most iconic heritage sites including Stirling Castle, Linlithgow Palace, Urquhart Castle, St Andrews Castle, and Melrose Abbey. At Edinburgh Castle the Honours of Scotland are set to go on public display again and will be able to be viewed socially distanced with a new queuing system implemented in Crown Square to manage access.
