In 1296, King Edward I of England invaded Scotland, sparking the First War of Scottish Independence. Edinburgh Castle soon came under English control after a brief resistance. A large garrison was installed - 347 strong in 1300. After the death of Edward I in 1307 however, England's control over Scotland weakened. In the spring of 1314, a surprise night attack led by Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, recaptured the castle. It was a daring plan, involving a party of of thirty hand-picked men making a difficult ascent up the north precipice and taking the garrison by surprise. Robert the Bruce however immediately ordered the destruction of it's defences to prevent reoccupation by the English. Shortly after however, Bruce's army secured victory at the Battle of Bannockburn. After Bruce's death, another dispute of the the rightfull heir to the throne, which had its origins in the Great Cause, broke out, leading to the Second War of Scottish Independence, that eventually caused the castle to again come under English control. Major repairs were carried out, but these proved ineffective against another assault in April 1341, this time led by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas. Douglas's party disguised as merchants bringing supplies to the garrison, managed to drop its loads at the castle gate, preventing their closure. A larger force hidden nearby rushed to join them and the castle was ruthlessly retaken.

Edinburgh Castle is an ancient Stronghold it's look very strong for me in our time from its position atop Castle Rock, dominates the sky-line of the city of Edinburgh  it stands today though, few of the castle's structures pre-date the Lang Seige of the 16th century, with the notable exception of St Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, which dates from the early 12th century. Edinburgh's fortress has been a centre of military activity. As an ancient fortress Edinburgh Castle is one of the few that still has a military garrison, albeit for largely ceremonial and administrative purposes. The New Barrack Block is now home to the official headquarters of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and 52 Infantry Brigade, as well as home to the regimental museum of the Royal Scots and Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. The Governor of Edinburgh Castle is Major General David McDowall, GOC of the British Army's 2nd Division. The Governor of the Castle has always been the head of the Army in Scotland. Direct administration of the castle by the War Office only came to an end in 1923 when the army formally moved to the city's new Redford Barracks. Nevertheless, the Castle continues to have a strong connection with the Army. Sentries still stand watch at the castle gatehouse after opening hours, with responsibility for guarding the Honours of Scotland.
