of Edinburgh from its position atop Castle Rock. It is Scotland's second most visited tourist attraction. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC. As it stands today though, few of the castle's structures pre-date the Lang Siege 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.As with all castles, 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

claim to be legitimate successor to Edward the Confessor. William I was a strong king and a man of immense determination. He was stern to people who opposed his will, but kindly disposed to those who did not. William saw England as an extension of his French domains. He dispossessed nearly all the Anglo-Saxon nobles of their lands, and put Normans in their places. These men discouraged rebellion by building strong castles throughout the country, especially in Wales. In return for their land, William's barons had to perform certain services. They and their bishops had to perform certain services. They and the bishops served as members of William's Council, which replaced the Anglo-Saxon Witan. The barons also had military obligations to serve as knights (army commanders) for William. William organised his English kingdom according to the feudal system which had
next. Firstly, I simply adore travelling and take every opportunity I can to visit different countries. My last trip took me to the Finland where I met a lot of interesting people. Secondly, there are some countries I am dreaming to visit some day in the future. I would really like to travel to Japan. I would love to visit a country which has very rich traditions and culture. There are very proud and generous people. I would like to see some festivals there and also visit some old castles and temples.Also Japan is known for its robots and technical gadgets. And of course I like to see citylights in the night and go shopping to big centres. Shibuya 109 is a mutli-storey shopping centre just for teenage girs. And Akihabara in Tokyo is know solely for its electronics and games. Finally, the only negative aspect about travelling is that then I will not see my friends and family for long time. But we could use Skype for chatting and I can send them new exciting pictures every day.
Firstly I Would like to recomend to visit Old Town, it is wery beautiful, interesting and ancient. You can taste national food and buy souvenirs. In my opinion the best time for visiting is winter, because of chistmas spirit and fair. Secondly I would like to recomend to visit Estonia theater and opera house. There is a variety of plays, operas and balley. The building is outstanding and miracoulus appearences. Thirdly I would like to recomend to visit acient fortresses like castles : Narva and Rakvere In Rakvere you can ride a horse, make crossbow fhooting, made a coin, see historicas swords, visit wine cellar and tortuure chamber. Also I would like to recomend Georg Otsa SPA Hotel, Because Saaremaa( Kuressaare) is outstanding, the air is clean, beautiful beach and warm water. SPA procidures are gate and hotel wonderful. I would not recomend to visit suborbs, because there is boring and nothing to look at. If you

The Barn Swallow has been the national bird of Estonia since 23 June 1960. National stone Estonian national stone is the country's valuable grey limestone. Estonia lies on a thick layer of limestone which is visible on the steep banks of northern and western Estonia. Most castles, churches, farm buildings, and countless stone fences are made of limestone. Research on limestone and its well-preserved fossils has for centuries brought Estonian scientists international renown. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why numerous scientists supported the declaration of limestone as the national stone of Estonia. Cornflower Grey limestone Barn swallow
dating from 10,000 BC--and as a fascinating repository of cultural heritage. The country takes it name from the great medieval trading empire that was located northwest of the modern-day state until its demise in the 13th century. Direct sea trade with Europe, established in the 15th century, had much impact on the area's inhabitants, many of whom actively traded with the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and other Europeans. Forts and castles, many of which still dot the Ghanaian coast today, were constructed by Europeans to protect their trade interests. Although trading was originally centred on the gold that was readily available in the area (and from which the future British colony the Gold Coast would take its name), the focus shifted to the lucrative slave trade in the 17th century. The area later became known for growing cacao, the source of cocoa beans. Introduced there in the late 19th century, cacao continues to
14th of October, 1066 .The Normans outnumbered the Anglo-Saxon forces and were better armed. Normans won the Battle and King Harold was killed, England was invaded. It took several years to conquer the whole England. The Normans encircled London and the Anglo-Saxon nobility had to acknowledge William as the rightful king of England. In 1071 the invasion was completed. He divided the country into seven parts making one of it the royal domain. He built many castles all over England. William replaced the council of noblemen by a Great Council which consisted of bishops and barons. William had four sons, including the future kings William II and Henry I and six daughters. William I died of his injuries after falling from his horse while fighting in France in 1078.

When the harvest failed it was tempting for poor people to steal food. When people did break the law, they risked public flogging or being hanged. Tudor Toilets Toilets were called 'Privies' and were not very private at all. They were often just a piece of wood over a bowl or a hole in the ground. People would wipe their bottoms with leaves or moss and the wealthier people used soft lamb's wool. In palaces and castles, which had a moat, the lords and ladies would retire to a toilet set into a cupboard in the wall called a garderobe. Here the waste would drop down a shaft into the moat below.

The beauties of the city were the large castles, stunning churches and amazing abbeys. The gap between rich and poor was humongous. Common people lived in houses which were made out of wood.

Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment.
