Copyright: Production team. 1  Entomology is a branch of Zoology which deals with the study of insects. 2  The word originates from the Greek word 'entom', meaning 'notched' which relates to the segmented body of an insect. 3  These insects are by far the most numerous animals on the earth.
It was founded in the aftermath of the Norman conquest of England when William the Conqueror (1066â1087) ordered its construction because he wished to have a fortified place in the important city of Norwich. It proved to be his only castle in East Anglia. It is one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites. The castle now houses the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, which holds significant objects from the region, especially archaeological finds.
Mary, Queen of Scots, held a Privy Council at Edzell in August 1562, after the Battle of Corrich. The oldest part of the castle is the late 15th century Stirling tower house. From its name it is believed that this part of the castle was built by the Stirling family. The castle is credited to have been built by Sir David Lindsay, Earl of Crawford, the head of the notorious and often lawless Clan Lindsay and Crawford. It was partially remodelled in the 16th century, when the courtyard and flanking buildings were added.
