Beautiful - but Stirling is just as good with less crowds

It was very crowded, but the castle is quite beautiful. If you want to avoid the crowds, I'd go to Stirling Castle instead because it is very similar, with less crowds to have to deal with.

The Crown Jewel of Scotland

This castle and all of its medieval splendor is worth the trip to Edinburgh alone. Be sure to box off about a half-day with a worthy guide to get the most from this fortress that has never fallen due to seige. (by treachery sure but not to seige.) St. Catherines chapel inside is a quaint landmark to the antiquity of the site. Well worth a visit.
