Скачать или смотреть The Dark Story of Britain’s Most Besieged Fortress: Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle stands 430 feet above the city, built on volcanic rock formed 340 million years ago. Over 1,100 years, it endured 26 sieges—the most besieged place in Britain. But the castle's true darkness isn't in its battles. It's in the Black Dinner of 1440, where two teenage boys were executed in a calculated political murder. It's in the vaults where over a thousand prisoners of war—including a six-year-old drummer boy—were held in darkness. It's in the wells that ran dry during sieges, forcing surrender through thirst rather than artillery.

This is the story of a fortress where strategic position guaranteed perpetual violence. Where geology shaped destiny. Where beauty and brutality coexist in impermeable stone.
