Edinburgh Castle hits back at tourist's bogus 'anti English abuse' claim

Edinburgh Castle staff were forced to respond to a recent claim a visitor was 'targeted for being half English' at the world famous landmark.

Although the attraction generally garners favourable feedback, an unusual one out of five star rating was recently left on the TripAdvisor which described the castle as 'dodgy', while it also commented on the appearance of the staff working there.

The reviewer, who suggested they visited the landmark in July of last year, said: "It’s a long walk up, I felt targeted as I happen to be half English, however the pencil and magnet I got were very good, some attractive workers."
