Secrets of Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle in Scotland was built on top of a volcano and is so old that its founding was already shrouded in myth and legend by the time of its first definite mention in literature. The infamous "Red Wedding" scene from "A Storm of Swords" by G.R.R. Martin was inspired by real-life events that occurred at Edinburgh Castle in 15th century Scotland, known as "The Black Dinner". Additionally, the castle has a secret underground tunnel leading to nearby Holyrood Palace, which was rediscovered during a renovation project in the 1990s and is now open to the public for guided tours.
