The Treaty of Edinburgh was like a special agreement, or a peace treaty, made a super long time ago, in 1560. It was written down on paper and signed by important people from England and France. This paper helped stop a big argument and a fight called the siege of Leith. It was like saying, 'Okay, no more fighting, let's be friends!' It also changed an old friendship between Scotland and France.

This treaty was made by people who worked for Queen Elizabeth I of England and people who worked for King Francis II of France. The King of France was married to Mary, Queen of Scots. So, it was like two big countries deciding to be peaceful. They met to talk and write down the rules for stopping the fighting. It was a very important meeting for both Scotland and England.

This treaty was super important because it stopped a big fight and made sure England and France stayed friends. It also meant that Scotland and England could have a new kind of friendship. Before this, Scotland and France had a very old friendship called the Auld Alliance.
