Edinburgh Castle  Edinburgh Castle is a famous royal castle in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is situated on the massive Castle Rock, part of an ancient extinct volcano. This rock is estimated to have formed some 350 million years ago. This castle had remained the Scottish Royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Malcolm III Canmore was the first king of Scotland who made his residence on Castle Rock and Charles I was the last to inhabit the castle. It has a geographical location suitable enough to make it one of the best defended fortresses in the history of Scotland. It was used as an arsenal during the 15th century and as a prison in the 18th century and early 19th century. Edinburgh Castle was twice captured by English invaders and retaken both the times by Scots between 1296 and 1341. Now the castle serves as one of the biggest tourist attractions in Scotland. It is not known exactly when the castle was first built. Most of the buildings in the castle date from the 12th century to the 18th Century. Quick Facts: The castle receives approximately 1.5 million visitors per years on average. It is also known to be one of the most haunted spots in Scotland. There is a time signal called One O’Clock Gun which is fired every day at 13:00 exactly. Sunday, Good Friday and Christmas Day are three exceptions. It is also home to St. Margaret’s Chapel which is the oldest surviving building in Scotland. This chapel pays tribute to Queen Margaret. She was the wife of Malcolm III Canmore. Evidence suggests that people settled on Castle Rock in late Bronze Age for the first time. The castle was also used as a prison during World War I and World War II. From 1776 to 1781, American prisoners were held in the castle during the War of Independence. There is a legend about the castle that if any student of University of Edinburgh passes through the castle gates, he / she will fail their final exams. #kidsknowledge #funfacts #edinburgh #edinburghcastle #scotland #amazingearth #earth #knowledge #learning #education #geography #history #parentsofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #natgeokidsscotland #geology #natgeo #nationalgeographic https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XfGypHyqO/?igshid=hby2jyqwvbhc

Saturn has a very strong magnetic field which traps energy particles resulting in high levels of radiation. #kidsknowledge #funfacts #planets #saturn #nasa #science #solarsystem #space #knowledge #learning #education #natgeokidsscotland #natgeo #nationalgeographic https://www.instagram.com/p/B5TvjXnH7XR/?igshid=66z138nh6dmt

The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans. In 2010 the United States Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping measured the depth of the Challenger Deep at 10,994 meters (36,070 feet) below sea level with an estimated vertical accuracy of ± 40 meters. If Mount Everest, were placed at this location it would be covered by over one mile of water. The first depth measurements in the Mariana Trench were made by the British survey ship HMS Challenger, which was used by the Royal Navy in 1875 to conduct research in the trench. The greatest depth that they recorded at that time was 8,184 meters (26,850 feet). In 1951, another Royal Navy vessel, also named the "HMS Challenger," returned to the area for additional measurements. They discovered an even deeper location with a depth of 10,900 meters (35,760 feet) determined by echo sounding. The Challenger Deep was named after the Royal Navy vessel that made these measurements. In 2009, sonar mapping done by researchers aboard the RV Kilo Moana, operated by the University of Hawaii, determined the depth to be 10,971 meters (35,994 feet) with a potential error of ± 22 meters. The most recent measurement, done in 2010, is the 10,994 meter ( ± 40 meter accuracy) #kidsknowledge #funfacts #nature #science #amazingearth #earth #space #ourplanet #animals #animalkingdom #knowledge #learning #education #geography #ocean #parentsofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #natgeokidsscotland https://www.instagram.com/p/BqMjGYzD7Iw/?igshid=15is4is3njqh5
