Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Edinburgh Past and Present
It is not necessary, however, to believe all this in order to be assured of a remote antiquity for the gude toon. It is sure enough that the Castle Rock must have been a stronghold far back in the prehistoric period. Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord, has had successors in all lands, and a natural fortress so conspicuous as that which dominates Edinburgh would certainly be occupied for Offence or defence as soon as the shores of the Firth of Forth were peopled. So it'is possible to maintain that the very earliest date ever claimed for the origin Of the city may not be early enough.
