| Abstract: | This chapter considers the sources of evidence for the pre-burghal evolution of Edinburgh, the natural setting of the site, topography and ancient rivers and lochs. Most of the evidence comes primarily from the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records. Documentary references are limited to a very few sources in the latter part of the first millennium AD. The chapter includes a summary of the evidence for Edinburgh's prehistoric origins and the evidence for settlement before 1128. | |||
