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.
