Half-price tickets to Edinburgh Castle for this weekend are still available in Historic Scotland’s great ticket giveaway – but as they are in great demand anyone who would like to take advantage of the offer will need to act fast!
There has been an excellent response to the special promotion which – in addition to the 50% discounted tickets to Edinburgh Castle – offered thousands of free tickets to a range of Scotland’s finest heritage attractions on Saturday 12th or Sunday 13th March. All 5,000 of the free tickets to some 44 historic sites throughout the country have now been snapped up by on-line applicants.
To apply for the remaining half-price tickets to Edinburgh Castle, prospective visitors need to register their details online. They will then be sent an email with a voucher to present on arrival at the attraction. Proof of ID will be required to redeem the voucher.
The chance to benefit from half-price admission to the Castle this weekend brings the normal admission cost of £52.60 for two adults and three children down to just £26.30.
Historic Scotland Head of Commercial and Visitor Operations Stephen Duncan said: “Our great ticket giveaway has been a resounding success; we’re delighted that so many people have taken advantage of the chance to visit one of Scotland’s outstanding historic sites for free or get an unbeatable deal to explore our country’s top heritage attraction. I’d urge anyone who wants half-price tickets to Edinburgh Castle not to delay in applying at the website – it’s fantastic value so they’ll be snapped up very quickly.”
