Edinburgh

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, its second most populous city after Glasgow, and one of its 32 council areas. It is on the east coast of Scotland and is bordered by the Firth of Forth to the north. Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since 1437, when it replaced Scone.
==History==
During the Middle Ages, the Gododdins built a small fort called Dun Eiden, probably on the Castle Rock, although the exact location is unknown. In the 7th century, the Gododdins were attacked by the Anges, the namesake tribe of England, who invaded the fort. They took the name 'Eiden' and added 'Burh', an old English word for 'fort', which gives us the present-day name of Edinburgh.
