During World War One Germany launched Zeppelin attacks on the United Kingdom.  The first raid on Scotland took place pn the evening of 2/3 April 1916. It was part of an attack by 8 Zeppelins on the North East Coast of Britain, and the naval base of the Grand Fleet on the River Forth at Rosyth. The German intent included three Zeppelins attacking Rosyth. 

Only Zeppelin L14 dropped bombs which landed in Leith, Holyrood Park, and around the Castle. One of those bombs landed in the Grassmarket near the White Hart pub.
