Some researchers believe that the name means fortress of Edwin (Edwin's fort), and that it is based, probably, is the name of the King of Northumbria Edwin, who ruled VII veke However, this assumption is unlikely due to the fact that the name was changed for a while before the epoch of Edwin.The first written mention of the settlement around the castle, as an independent city, signifies the beginning of XII veka - in 1124 by the decree of King David I in Edinburgh was founded Church of the Holy Crucifixion (Church of the Holy Rood). Appeal to the recipients in the royal charter reads in Latin - Ecclisie Sancte Crucis Edwinesburgensi, and this form of the city name indicates either that the XII veke existed belief about the origin of the name of the name of King Edwin, or that six centuries and the name was transformed it included the letter w.

Although the location of the fort is not certain, the researchers suggest that it could be located on Castle Rock, Mount Arthur and Mount Kelton [1].Angles of Northumbria had a great influence on the formation of the south-east of Scotland, especially since the year 638 BC. e., when the castle was besieged by troops loyal to the king of Northumbria Oswald. Whether it is a battle reason the castle passed from the Britons to nortumberiytsam unknown, but about this time they managed Edinburgh. This lasted for more than three centuries.
