Plan ahead: Use Radical Storage or other luggage storage services in the city center before heading up to the castle. There are several options available near the Royal Mile, which leads up to the castle.

Very good place as it was available 24/7, nice working staff. The luggage will be stored next to the check-in desk by the staff working there. However, the location is the hotel which is the main street (not the back street, how it appears on Google Maps).
traveler
Easy pickup and delivery, very nice host
traveler
Excellent accueil, personne très attentionnée

I was a little bit afraid because I never tried this app, and the place where I store the luggage was a shop directly on the street. But actually everything was fine, the ppl were very kind and the shop is super close to the station

Location on the map is misleading. You should update it to: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qvL2WGUQAvB1b4uM9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
