History of Edinburgh

[Edina Street]

I was just looking through Wikipedia's History of Edinburgh page to try and find some more historic events or historic locations to find paintings or photographs for and I came across an allegation that I have never heard before. Apparently when us Scots took over Oppidum Eden, Oppidum Eden was "evacuated" and "abandoned". Well, this is something I did not learn at school, and I doubt I will find a painting depicting the evacuation of the Northumbrians.

During the tenth century the northernmost part of Northumbria, which had retained its Brythonic name Lothian, came under the sway of the Kingdom of Scotland. The 11th century Chronicle of the Kings of Alba records that "oppidum Eden", usually identified as Edinburgh,^[24][25] "was evacuated, and abandoned to the Scots until the present day." This has been read as indicating that Lothian was ceded to the Scottish king Indulf who reigned from AD 954 to 962. Thereafter Edinburgh generally remained under the jurisdiction of the Scots.^[26]

Anyway, on a less serious note, I did find what I was looking for. Another painting.
