Edinburgh Castle is situated on Castle
Rock in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Castle Rock formed after a volcano
erupted over 340 million years ago. The first castle that existed on the rock
was known as “The Castle of the Maidens”. According to legend, the castle had
been a shrine to the “Nine Maidens”, one of whom was Morgan le Fay.
Castle Rock had been a military base and royal residence for centuries.
However, the edifice that is known as Edinburgh Castle was built during the
12th century by David I, son of Saint Margaret of Scotland.
