Edinburgh Castle is a castle fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC, although the nature of early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle here since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. As one of the most important fortresses in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle has been involved in many historical conflicts, from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century, up to the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and has been besieged, both successfully and unsuccessfully, on several occasions. From the later 17th century, the castle became a military base, with a large garrison. Its importance as a historic monument was recognised from the 19th century, and various restoration programmes have been carried out since. Although formally owned by the Ministry of Defence, most of the castle is now in the care of Historic Scotland, and it is Scotland's most-visited tourist attraction. Although the garrison left in the 1920s, there is still a military presence at the castle, largely ceremonial and administrative, and including a number of regimental museums. It is also the backdrop to the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and has become a recognisable symbol of Edinburgh and of Scotland.

UK SCOTLAND Edinburgh -- 16 Sep 2010 -- Crowds wave papal flags and those of St Andrew during Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Edinburgh, Scotland. The pope arrived amid controversy over his and the Catholic church?s handling of child abuse by priests - though he was greeted by thousands of Catholics and a handful of protestors on Prince?s Street, Edinburgh. Turnout along the route was lower than expected. The pope is on a three day state visit to the United Kingdom - the first ever by a Catholic pope -- Picture by Jonathan Mitchell | Lightroom Photos
