Edinburgh Castle set for one-off stint as nightclub venue

It has been a fixture on the Edinburgh skyline since the 12th century - but has rarely opened its gates to the public after dark.

But that is about to change when Edinburgh Castle is transformed into a vast neon-lit nightclub for an “exclusive after hours carnival.”

The attraction is to close down early for a three-hour adults-only party, dubbed “Knight at the Castle,” next Friday night, which will see DJs, pop and rock bands, and magicians performing.
