Tales of Edinburgh Castle

31st March 2015

Edinburgh Castle is one of Scotland’s most awe-inspiring and striking landmarks. A site of human habitation since the 9th century BC, it has a rich and varied History and Local Interest and has been a crucial strategic military site for thousands of years. A new title in the popular ‘Luath Storyteller’ series, ‘Tales of Edinburgh Castle’ is a salute to the ancient tradition of storytelling, painting a vivid picture of the castle in bygone times, and the rich and varied characters to whom it owes its notoriety.
