Comments by "Jack Mac" (@TheEggmaniac) on "The Truth About King Arthur and the Celtic Wars Against the Anglo-Saxons" video.
Yes that would seem to make sense, though Edinburgh or Dunedin (Dùn Èideann), as it was known, would still have been part of the Hen Ogled, under the control of the Brythonic speaking Gododdin, until conquered by the Angles in 638. The name, 'Arthurs seat.' possibly comes from a Anglised version of the Gaelic Àrd-thir Suidhe. meaning the place on the high ground or Àrd-na-Saidr, meaning as 'high as you could shoot an arrow.' So maybe its name had nothing to do with King Arthur.

@andrewheaney6858 I believe a Brythonic king called Arthur, or name very similar existed too. I think you might have misunderstood my comment. I was saying that name Arthurs Seat, might be a later English mispronunciation of the older Gaelic name Àrd-na-Saidr, meaning as 'high as you could shoot an arrow.' And have nothing to do with king Arthur at all.

@andrewheaney6858 Yeah Tintagel Castle definitely seems the most likely place King Arthur inhabited. Though many places in Britain seem to claim he came from their area. He could be an amalgamation of stories of Brythonic kings that resisted Anglo- Saxon invasion. or just one person whos exact origins are lost in history.
