Edinburgh actually came up near the prominent Castle Rock.

There is a gap created by volcanic plugs millions of years ago between the Firth of Forth to the north and the Pentland Hills to the south. In addition to these, another hollow on the rock's south side formed a natural stronghold that formed the basis for building the Edinburgh Castle. The place from where the glacier receded is now occupied by the residential areas of Marchmont and Bruntsfield.
