Introduction to the Castle Prison: Since the Middle Ages, the lower classes of Edinburgh have imprisoned traitors, pirates, prisoners of war, and women accused of being witches. During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), this was an important prisoner of war prison. The prison cells used by prisoners of war at that time can still be seen on the wooden door of the cell. Words and symbols drawn by fingernails.
Since the 1880s, the sanitary conditions of prisoners in military prisons have been greatly improved. You can understand the style of that time through the display of wax figures.
