  logically related to the Gaelic "choille-dun" (forested
  hill) or "cauldh-dun" (black hill). Given the hill's black
  basalt structure the latter seems more likely.

conversations.value: Craigmillar Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Edinburgh,
  Scotland. It is situated 3 miles south-east of the city centre, on a
  low hill. It was begun in the late 14th century by the Preston
  family, feudal barons of Craigmillar, and extended through the
  15th and 16th centuries. In 1660 the castle was sold to Sir John
  Gilmour, Lord President of the Court of Session, who made
  further alterations. The Gilmour's left Craigmillar in the 18th
  century and the castle fell into ruin. It is now in the care of
  Historic Scotland.
  Craigmillar Castle is best known for its association with
  Mary, Queen of Scots. Following an illness after the birth of her
  son, the future James I of England, Mary arrived at Craigmillar on
  20 November 1566 to convalesce. Before she left on 7 December
  1566, a pact known as the "Craigmillar Bond" was made, with or
  without her knowledge, to dispose of her husband Henry Stuart,
  Lord Darnley.
  Craigmillar is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland. The central tower house,
  or keep, is surrounded by a 15th-century courtyard wall with "particularly fine" defensive features.
  Within this are additional ranges and the whole is enclosed by an outer courtyard wall containing a
  chapel and a doocot.

conversations.value: Edinburgh Castle is a fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland,
  from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock.
  Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as
  the 9th century BC, although the nature of early
  settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle
  here since at least the reign of David I in the 12th
  century, and the site continued to be a royal
  residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
  From the 15th century the castle's residential role
  declined, and by the 17th century its principal role
  was as a military base with a large garrison. Its
  importance as a historic monument was recognized
  from the 19th century, and various restoration programs have been carried out since. As one of the
  most important fortresses in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical
  conflicts, from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century, up to the Jacobite Rising of 1745,
  and has been besieged, both successfully and unsuccessfully, on several occasions.
  Although formally owned by the Ministry of Defense, most of the castle is now in the care of
  Historic Scotland, and it is Scotland's most-visited paid tourist attraction. The garrison left in the 1920s,
  but there is still a military presence at the castle, largely ceremonial and administrative, and including a
  number of regimental museums. As the backdrop to the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo it has become
  a recognizable symbol of Edinburgh and of Scotland.

  the oldest purpose-built concert hall in Scotland, and the second
  oldest in use in the British Isles and Teviot Row House, which is
  the oldest purpose built Student Union Building in the world.
  As the school expanded it has come to be located upon
  six main campuses each focusing on a different field of study in
  which the University of Edinburgh has excelled. Notable alumni
  such as Charles Darwin, David Hume, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and
  Adam Smith have all left their mark upon the world and it is said
  that every world shattering political change has had an alumni in
  attendance. Add to this the close ties the University maintains with the British and Scottish Crowns and

  guesthouse was developed into a royal residence, and after the Scottish Reformation the Palace of
  Holyroodhouse was expanded further. The abbey church was used as a parish church until the 17th
  century, and has been ruined since the 18th century. The remaining walls of the abbey lie adjacent to
  the palace, at the eastern end
  of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The
  site of the abbey is protected
  as a scheduled monument.
  It was used a place of
  political power due to its close
  proximity to Edinburgh Castle.
  Robert the Bruce held
  parliament within its walls in
  the 1300s and parliament
  continued to use the building
  until the mid-1400s. After
  that the place became a Royal
  residence and many of
  Scotland’s Royal family were
  born and buried there. As the
  state protestant religion was
  moved to Kirk of the
  Canongate the Abbey became a Roman Catholic church and the primary home of the Order of the
  Thistled Cross in the late 17th century until it was looted by a mob during the Glorious Revolution and
  then destroyed following storms one hundred years later.
  Although looted and in ruins the place has been proposed to be restored, often at the expense
  of the architect a number of times, the most resent in 1906. But always they have been halted
  mysteriously the city seems to want to keep it in ruins.

  residential buildings surrounding a large open field park. Built
  in the Georgian style it remained a housing district passing
  from upper middle class through the ranks until it was
  declared a slum in 1960. It was torn down and the St. James
  Shopping Center was built on its land and has become the
  preeminent mall in New Town.
  But all that is destroyed for progress is not lost. James
  Square was not fully destroyed and its echo still rests within
  the Nevernever. It is here that Edinburgh’s neutral grounds
  lay, protected by the wards and laylines of Edinburgh. A place
  within its self, James Square is only accessible by those that
  have been there before. A joke most predators enjoy as new
  fish arrive within the city seeking sanctuary.
  To a new visitor the place looks like Tim Burton was
  the city planner. Twelve story buildings thrown haphazardly together ring the open field park like a wall
  and a series of businesses from doctors to opium bars can be found within their walls, while the park
  maintains the pristine condition of a family friendly pavilion. Unable to police the place, the White
  Council is always seeking ways to limit access and as such most that find their way in never leave. It is

  foundations of the New Town into the drained Nor Loch which forms today's Princes Street Gardens.[1]
  The Mound was officially opened in 1781. When the
  Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway was extended to
  Waverley in 1846, tunnels were driven under The
  Mound to allow access to the west.

conversations.value: Built between 1765 and 1850, New Town isn’t really new and has been an UNESCO world
  heritage site since 1995. It was designed by James Craig, a young terramancer, who used a simple of
  axial grid which followed the natural laylines of the area to create an echo of the Union Jack in honor of
  Edinburgh’s loyalty to the English royal family.
  Its creation emphasized the Age of Enlightenment
  and allowed the wealthy a way to escape the tight confines
  of the old city walls. It did much more than that. Reason did
  not allow for the existence of the supernatural and the make
  of the new city was designed to use the laylines to dampen
  the abilities of those creatures and bind them in place.
  Over the years the powerful fae prison was effective,
  but mortal growth stressed the boarders of New Town and
  new architects added their own streets and plans weakening
  the bars. Natural laylines were cut and others tapped to
  power Edinburgh’s massive defenses. Soon Craig’s naturally designed prison was subverted and the
  prisoners became the wardens, carving out a fiefdom within Edinburgh’s boarders were mortal magic
  just doesn’t seem to function. Though if the White Council has a plan on how to deal with their near
  neighbors it has yet to be seen.

conversations.value: The Royal Mile is approximately one Scots mile long, and runs between two foci of history in
  Scotland, from Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Castle Rock down to Holyrood Abbey. The Royal Mile
  is Edinburgh Old Town's busiest tourist street, rivaled only by Princes Street in the New Town.
  Edinburgh has a hidden underworld to which the castle is
  strongly connected-including a series of secret tunnels leading
  from Edinburgh Castle down the Royal Mile. It’s said that one of
  these tunnels used to lead to Holyrood Palace.
  When these tunnels were first discovered several
  hundred years ago, a piper was sent to explore. He kept playing
  so that his progress could be tracked by those above. About half
  way down the Royal Mile the piping suddenly stopped. When a
  rescue party was sent, there was no trace of the piper. He had
  simply vanished.
  The piper's ghost still haunts Edinburgh today, walking
  endlessly along the underground tunnel beneath the Royal Mile.
  His music can sometimes be heard from within the castle.
  In truth Edinburgh Below is run by a series of monstrous
  feudal lords and ladies and as of now remains accepted by the
  White Council as an independent country due to a truce made by the original Merlin. Though for what
  reason Merlin would place such a huge security risk within his own capital is the topic of much
  discussion amongst the Senior Council. Still the whole system is ripe with layline energies untapable
  from Edinburgh Above and what those under denizens are doing with such power is unknown.

conversations.value: The original city is situated in a “Craig and tail” pattern with Edinburgh Castle sitting on top of an
  extinct volcano and the rest of the city situated along
  the ridge away from it. Due to the space restrictions
  imposed by the narrowness of the "tail" the Old Town
  became home to some of the earliest "high rise"
  residential buildings. Multi-story dwellings were the
  norm from the 16th century onwards. At its height
  more than 80,000 people lived in the tight confines of
  Old Town.
  Old Town was a growing community in the
  late 18th century and two bridges were built to
  facilitate the expansion, the north and south bridges.
  By 1785 the bridges were completed and much of the underside of the southern bridge was sealed off in
  order to make businesses. Known as the vault it was abandoned in 1795 as a shopping district, but soon
  became a slum district and was the haunt of the serial killers Burke and Hare. It is unknown when
  exactly it was fully abandoned, but for some reason tons of debris was dumped to seal up it up. It was
  rediscovered in 1990 and Old Town has never been the same.

conversations.value: "The World's End" sounds the sort of whimsical name a national pub chain might have come up
  with. The truth is very different. At the Battle of Flodden near Coldstream in 1513 King James IV and
  most of the Scottish nobility of the day were killed by the English. Scotland lay defenseless and the
  citizens of Edinburgh rapidly built a stone wall around the city to protect it, the Flodden Wall.
  Parts of the wall can still
  be seen, and its course ran
  along the west side of St
  Mary's Street underneath
  where the World's End is
  now built (the pub reuses
  the foundations of the
  wall). The main gate on
  this side of the city, the
  Netherbow Port, was on
  the High Street here. Its
  outline is marked in the
  street by brass colored
  cobbles.
  The wall proved
  pretty useless when Henry
  VIII’s forces invaded in
  1544, but it did very
  clearly mark the outer limit of what was considered to be Edinburgh at the time. This, then, was the
  point at which the world ended and Edinburgh began. Hence "The World's End".
  In October 1977, Helen Scott, 17, and Christine Eadie, 17, were seen socializing with two men.
  The bodies of Scott and her friend Eadie were found the next day six miles apart in East Lothian. Both
  women had been beaten, raped and strangled. No attempt had been made to conceal the bodies as
  both were found in open fields.

  The daughter of Justin DuMorne, she was quickly accepted into the Wizard’s Council and has
