- Edinburgh Castle, in the heart of Edinburgh Scotland, is referred to as Britain’s longest-occupied fortified location. The site of the castle is also known as the most besieged place in Britain. A royal residence and military base, this castle transformed over time from a bronze age settlement, to the birthplace of James VI, and a prison during the American War of Independence. The castle has been transformed through the Lang Siege, Mary Queen of Scots' rough wooing, and Victorian era reconstruction.

Thank you for this for this very educational and informative video. It is my dream to go to Scotland, but I likely will never get there, this video helps me play virtual tourist.
I'm so glad that you're able to enjoy this video. Scotland is very beautiful! It's worth planning to visit. We plan to head back to Scotland. - Veronica
Faith. In the end you will regret the things you did not do alot more than the things you did. Point being, go to Scotland. Just do it.
I havent visited Edinburgh as such, I've been through it on a train and saw the castle looking up and past the wellhouse tower, that was many years ago though. I visit other places in scotland, mainly the town of Ayr, which has just as much history as Edinburgh, scotland is beautiful, and likes to preserve its history. As these people say, just go, just do it, of regrets there will be none.
I love this place and the city. I worked there for several years and got to visit Edinburgh twice. I also liked Sterling castle, which I got to visit on my last trip to Scotland. I'd love to come back someday!
Great looking castle. Thanks for the great history lesson.
I visited this castle today for my channel. I've been in Scotland since last week, traveling from Aberdeenshire down to Scottish Borders filming castles and historic sites. Edinburgh was my final castle on my trip.

Awesome info; ty!
Thank you! This is great!
Well done. Thanks very much.
Was in '73 for the Tattoo with my beloved Gran Graham. Such wonderful memories xo
Everyone keeps telling me to visit Edinburgh Castle. After watching this I can see why. Great video and information 👍
all that history, stories and legacy
I bet Robert the Bruce would never have thought parts would turn into a cafe and the castle become a tourist attraction

good one dear very nice
This is super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Going to delve into this massive structure at the form of History Victorum's documentary.
I would love to see this someday
Edinburgh Castle is historical.
They forgot to mention Janet Douglas being burned at the stake for witchcraft ordered by the king 👑. Everything hidden will be revealed in the light . Yes right in front of the castle .
I was 6 but remember clearly the stone of destiny being returned in 1996
Well worth a visit.
Thank you for this video with khowledge
Would like to see a video on Hermitage Castle .
good one dear
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I'd love to visit Edinburgh
Just like Minecraft in real life
good video but it would be helpful to put dates on the screen to memorize them
I've been there. It's amazing !!!
A beautiful castle.good vale for thirty one pounds each for the three of us would go again the next time we visit Edinburgh
🖤
do you agree with all the changeis to this historic spot
Restorations are always tricky. I would have preferred that the changes to make it look more of what the Victorian Era believed it should look like, such as the new gatehouse, have not taken place because it never had those features to being with.
@@HistoryVictorum Thanks you for the reply
Do Glasgow documentary.
Hopefully we can head back to Scotland this year. I would love to visit Glasgow!
The Bruce didn’t like Stoke on Trent anyway
Why the Douglas boys were killed?
What's the full name of this castle?

🌹👒🎩
I'm only here for my history cba
Man they made things to last back then, just look at the roads fuck Jesus sakes
who agrees that the girl spend half of her life studying this history -->
Dont buy any cashmere thing down the castle. All imported or raw material imported from Asia，and there is no 30 days redund.😂
we do have profesional historians in scotland,why for the history of our capital city do we have to put up with amatures and foringhers for a documentary?
Amateurs and foreigners* There is nothing wrong with people from other countries taking interest in Scotland’s history. Especially since many Americans have Scottish heritage. Should only Italians write about Rome? Can only Frenchmen or Corsicans write about Napoleon?
As a Scottish, I already know all this
It’s a house on a hill . No big deal.
It’s a castle, so it’s not just a ‘house’ for the monarchy but a strong fortification to withstand sieges. It’s also over 900 years old. You have to be very dense to think that history doesn’t matter, even for ‘houses on a hill’.
Only real ones remember this from Minecraft
