    It mustve been very difficult and painful for so many royal, nobles and servant Scots back in the day who had to travel up amd down all the stairs found in all castles back then. Speaking of the elderly and not so elderly who suffered from arthritis, gout, sugar disease etc.

      It was very difficult, the average life span back then was 52 for a man and 58 for a woman. I;m a scot born and raised there, and I can tell you mostly it was lung disease. Coal was the source of heat and the smog was very bad because of that. By the way Edinburgh castle is only a tourist attraction, there is many more interesting castles in Scotland.

    Hi Shawn,
    Great video of the castle. I was there a week ago and having watched your video prior to my trip, it gave me a better understanding of not only what to expect but
    the lay out of the castle and grounds as well. I was pleased that you did not photograph the crown jewels. At three different stations during entry there were signs posted making it very clear that photography was prohibited. . . and yet when I was in the chamber, there were those few who had their cell phones out snapping photos left and right. So disrespectful. Well done on sharing your
    personal tour of the castle. It really is an amazing place. To add to that--Edinburgh, in my opinion, is a city filled with beautiful architecture, friendly and caring citizens and never-ending stunning views. I plan to go back as there is yet so much more to see.
    Cheers,
    Darryl

    Hi Shaun,
    Just found this video. I lived and worked in the Castle for 4 years from 1996-2000.
    I served with the Royal Military Police and as such was accomodated in the new barrack block. Our Police Staion was within the entrance to the building. It was a real pain in the summer with tourists. The winter time was best. I could go on but i won't bore you with it all.
