Question

Переведите пожалуйста текст на английский очень нужно На протяжении всей своей истории крепость являлась своего рода «ключом к Шотландии». Сооружённый первоначально ещё в период раннего средневековья, замок капитально перестроен в начале XVII века и приспособлен для обороны с использованием крепостной артиллерии. Замок производит впечатление абсолютно неприступной крепости. Три стороны крепости защищены отвесными утесами, и доступ к замку был ограничен крутой дорогой на четвёртой (восточной) стороне. К дороге можно пройти только через эспланаду — длинный и пустой, полностью простреливаемый из крепости наклонный участок, где ежегодно проходит Королевский эдинбургский парад военных оркестров.Ранее с северной стороны замка располагалось достаточно крупное озеро Нор-Лох, защищавшее подступы к замку и Старому городу с этой стороны. В конце XVIII века, при королях Ганноверской династии, озеро было постепенно осушено в связи со строительством в Эдинбурге Нового города.На территории замка стоит самое старое здание Эдинбурга (и едва ли не всей Шотландии) — капелла Святой Маргариты, названная именем Маргариты Шотландской, но в действительности построенная в начале XII века её сыном, королём Давидом. Также в Эдинбургском замке хранятся Скунский камень и корона Шотландии.​

Answer 1

Ответ:

Throughout its history, the fortress was a kind of "key to Scotland." Originally built in the early Middle Ages, the castle was thoroughly rebuilt at the beginning of the XVII century and adapted for defense using fortress artillery. The castle gives the impression of an absolutely impregnable fortress. Three sides of the fortress are protected by steep cliffs, and access to the castle was limited by a steep road on the fourth (eastern) side. You can only get to the road through the esplanade - a long and empty sloping section, completely shot through from the fortress, where the Royal Edinburgh Military Orchestra Parade takes place annually.

Earlier, on the north side of the castle was located a fairly large lake Nor-Loch, which protected the approaches to the castle and the Old Town from this side. At the end of the 18th century, under the kings of the Hanover dynasty, the lake was gradually drained due to the construction of a new city in Edinburgh.

The castle is the oldest building in Edinburgh (and almost all of Scotland) - the chapel of St. Margaret, named after Margaret of Scotland, but actually built at the beginning of the XII century by her son, King David. Edinburgh Castle also houses Skunk Stone and the crown of Scotland.

Throughout its history, the fortress has been a kind of "key to Scotland." Originally constructed during the early Middle Ages, the castle was extensively rebuilt in the early 17th century and adapted for defense using artillery. The castle gives the impression of being an impregnable stronghold. Three sides of the fortress are protected by sheer cliffs, and access to the castle was limited to a steep road on the fourth (eastern) side. The road can only be reached by crossing the esplanade—a long, empty slope fully exposed to fire from the castle—where the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is held annually.

Previously, there was a sizable lake called Nor Loch on the north side of the castle, which defended the approaches to the castle and the Old Town from that direction. In the late 18th century, during the reign of the Hanoverian dynasty, the lake was gradually drained due to the construction of the New Town in Edinburgh.

On the castle grounds stands the oldest building in Edinburgh (and arguably in all of Scotland)—St. Margaret's Chapel, named after Margaret of Scotland, but actually built in the early 12th century by her son, King David. The Edinburgh Castle also houses the Stone of Scone and the Crown Jewels of Scotland.
