Edinburgh (Scotland) Edinburgh Castle
Dubai (United Arab Emirates) The Burj
Khalifa
Edinburgh Castle is a historic
fortress which dominates the
skyline of the city of Edinburgh,
Scotland, from its position on the
Castle Rock. Archaeologists
have established human
occupation of the rock since at
least the Iron Age (2nd century
AD), although the nature of the
early settlement is unclear.
There has been a royal castle on
the rock since at least the reign
of David I in the 12th century,
and the site continued to be a
royal residence until 1633. From
the 15th century the castle's
residential role declined, and by
the 17th century it was
principally used as military
barracks with a large garrison.
Its importance as a part of
Scotland's national heritage was
recognised increasingly from the
early 19th century onwards, and
various restoration programmes
have been carried out over the
past century and a half.
Dubai is the most populous city
in UAE. The city has a lot of
modern buildings. Dubai is
