| History Edinburgh began to grow rapidly in the 12th century, when Saint David I transferred the royal court from Dunfermline to Edinburgh Castle, and after the emergence of the Scottish Parliament in the 13th century, it finally secured the status of the capital. During the reign of Mary Stuart, the royal court was housed in the Edinburgh Palace of Holyroodhouse, and when in 1603 the throne passed to James VI, he followed the king to London. After the Scottish Parliament was abolished in 1707, Edinburgh's importance in political terms decreased somewhat, but the cultural life of the city continued to flourish and reached its peak during the Enlightenment, when many outstanding scientists and philosophers of that time lived and worked here.In the middle of the 19th century, there was a sharp increase in the population of Edinburgh, mainly due to emigrants from Ireland who fled the "Irish potato famine". |

Founded around the 9th century and 10th century by Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin, Hogwarts was founded in the Highlands of Scotland to train young wizards and witches and to protect students from Muggle persecution. The theory is that Rowena Ravenclaw came up with the name Hogwarts after she had a dream about a warty hog that led her to a cliff by a lake.[4] Since then, Hogwarts has educated most of the child wizards living in Great Britain and Ireland, hiding its location from other wizarding schools and Muggles..
