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 Isle of Man -- Ancient Origins

Is this the castle of the Holy Grail? Peel Castle on the Isle of Man has been a monastic retreat, a fortress and home to a Viking king.
