Edinburgh began as a fortress on the easily defensible Castle Rock. The first inhabitants, primeval Scots, lived at the foot of this rock from around 6000 BC. Bronze Age settlements were established on this rock around 1000 BC. After the Romans advanced into Scotland in the 1st century AD, they came into contact with the Celtic tribe of the Votadini (later Goddess), whose fortress (dun eidyn) stood on the castle rock. In the 7th century, the fortress was conquered by the English (Northumbrians) including all of southern Scotland. The English called the fort Eiden's burgh. ("Burgh" is both Dutch and Old English for: burg, castle, fortress, fortress, fortification or fortification. The Gaelic "Dùn" means the same).
In the 10th century, the fortress was recaptured by the Scots. In 1070, King Malcolm III of Scotland Canmore and his Catholic English wife Margaret built the first castle on the rock. Between 1084 and 1153, their faithful son, David I of Scotland, founded Holyrood Abbey and the city (burgh) of Edinburgh around the castle.
