The access to the castle is made through the esplanade, a wide paved square with an inclined plane that lies between the castle itself and the end of the Royal Mile. It is on this esplanade where the Military Tattoo is held annually, and it is here that once parades and various types of training for the military garrison of the castle were organized. The cylindrical battery is called half moon.
The castle is entered through a portal in front of the battery, which leads to a path that goes up to the right to the courtyard in the center of the fortress.
