Was Edinburgh castle built onto of a old volcano?
Edinburgh History and Edinburgh Castle history begins on the rock on which Edinburgh Castle stands.The rock was formed 70 million years ago by volcanic action. Recent archaeological excavations in Edinburgh Castle have uncovered evidence that Bronze-Age man was living on the rock as long ago as 990 BC. Two thousand years ago, during the Iron Age, the rock had a hill-fort settlement on its summit. The height of the rock provided all round visibility, and its craggy nature allowed but one means of access, making the settlement easier to defend from marauders. The castle was known as Maidens Castle from about 900 BC until the late 1500's. This name may relate to Pictish maidens of royal blood being housed there, or possibly, that the rock had never been taken by force. However in 1573 at the end of the "Lange Siege"and after a barrage, where some 3000 shots were dispatched, the Castle was handed over to the English besiegers.
