Prayer Facilities

Muslims visiting the Edinburgh Castle will not be able to find prayer facilities within its premises. They will therefore have to ask to be directed to a mosque nearby. Due to the sizeable population of Muslims living in Edinburgh and the surrounding area, there are quite a few mosques and Islamic Centers. The Edinburgh Central Mosque, the Blackhall Mosque and the Annandale Street Mosque are just three of the many mosques in the city.

Halal Food

Visitors to Edinburgh Castle will be able to experience a traditional afternoon tea at the Tea Rooms. They can also grab a bite to eat at the Redcoat Café. While Muslim visitors will not be able to find Halal certified food at any of these outlets, they will certainly be able to find suitable vegetarian and seafood dishes. They will also be able to locate Halal restaurants in the city of Edinburgh without a problem.
