Edinburgh Castle:
Edinburgh Castle is located at the top of the Royal Mile, at the W cease of Edinburgh's Old Town.
This castle has existed since the reign of David I inwards the twelfth century, as well as continued to live a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns inwards 1603.
The Edinburgh Castle is a fortress atop the volcanic Castle Rock. The Castle Rock is 130 metres (430 ft) higher upward body of body of water level, with rocky cliffs to the south, W as well as north, 260 ft high. The volcanic Castle Rock offers a naturally defended position, with sheer cliffs to due north as well as south, as well as a steep ascent from the west. This way that the solely readily accessible road to the castle lies to the east, where the ridge slopes to a greater extent than gently. The castle's defences are situated accordingly, with a serial of gates protecting the road to the summit of the Castle Rock.
The defensive wages of such a site is clear, but the geology of the stone also presents difficulties, since basalt is an extremely piteous aquifer. Providing H2O to the Upper Ward of the castle was problematic, as well as despite the sinking of a 28-metre (92 ft) deep well, the H2O provide frequently ran out during drought or siege.
These 2 bronze statues of ii heroes inwards Scottish history were added to the gatehouse entrance inwards 1929.
Sir William Wallace (on the correct ) was the first leader of the Scots to rebel against the dominion of the English linguistic communication King Edward I who had over-run Scotland inwards 1296.
Robert the Bruce (left) in 1306 declared himself manly someone monarch of Scotland—through his manly someone nurture he was a fourth-great grandson of David I, as well as i of the claimants to the Scottish throne. His fight against the English linguistic communication was long as well as hard. On fourteen March 1314, inwards a surprise nighttime assault he guided a political party of 30 hand-picked men along the due north confront of the Castle Rock. Making the hard ascent, they took the garrison yesteryear surprise as well as took control. Robert the Bruce directly ordered the devastation of the castle's defences to foreclose re-occupation yesteryear the English linguistic communication as well as fully set Scotland gratis - at to the lowest degree for a time.

This is the One O'Clock Gun.
It is a fourth dimension signal, as well as is fired every 24-hour interval at exactly 13:00, excepting Sunday, Good Fri as well as Christmas Day. The 'Time Gun' was established inwards 1861 every bit a fourth dimension signal for ships inwards the Firth (estuary)of (river)Forth, as well as complemented the 'Time Ball', which was installed on the Nelson Monument inwards 1852, but which was useless every bit a visible signal during foggy weather.
The gun could easily live heard yesteryear ships inwards Leith Harbour, 2 miles (3.2 km) away. Because audio travels relatively slow (approximately 343 metres per mo (770 mph)), a map was produced inwards 1861 to exhibit the actual fourth dimension when the audio of the gun would live heard at diverse locations across Edinburgh.
The original gun was an 18-pound muzzle-loading cannon, which needed 4 men to load. The acquaint One O'Clock Gun is an L118 Light Gun, brought into service on 30 Nov 2001. The gun is at nowadays fired from Mill's Mount Battery, on the due north confront of the castle, yesteryear the District Gunner from 105th Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers).

Kings of Scotland were enthroned on this enigmatic stone for centuries. But in 1296, the English linguistic communication King Edward I took the Stone from Scone close Perth as well as had it built into his throne.

The Honors were buried at Dunnottar Castle as well as subsequently Kinneff Church betwixt 1651 to 1660 to maintain them out of the clutches of Oliver Cromwell and his English linguistic communication army.
The blade of the Sword of State has a fracture line that was in all likelihood made when it was snapped to smuggle it yesteryear English linguistic communication soldiers..

Most ushabtis were of fry size, as well as many produced inwards multiples – they sometimes covered the flooring about a sarcophagus.
Due to the shabti's commonness through all Egyptian timeperiods, as well as footing museums' wish to stand upward for ancient Egyptian fine art objects, the shabti is i of the most commonly represented objects inwards Egyptology displays.

Found on Lewis inwards 1831, the Lewis Chessmen are in all likelihood the most well-known archaeological notice from Scotland. The 93 gaming pieces known to us today include 78 chessmen, fourteen tables-men as well as a buckle to secure a bag. The hoard is probable to live made upward of four chess sets.

They were in all likelihood made inwards Trondheim inwards Kingdom of Norway during the belatedly twelfth as well as early on 13th centuries, when the surface area inwards which the chessmen were buried was business office of the Kingdom of Norway, non Scotland. It seems probable they were buried for rubber keeping on road to live traded inwards Ireland. There are several theories most how the hoard came to live hidden at Uig on Lewis.
Were they stolen from a passing ship?
Were they hidden yesteryear a travelling merchant?
Could the hoard live the prized possession of a local prince, nobleman or senior churchman?
Although many questions remain unanswered, in that location continues to live fascination with this remarkable grouping of iconic objects, 180 years after their uncovering on Lewis.

The clocks are great...
Millenium clock:
took a video of their millenium clock. watched its intricate movements when it chimed 2 as well as 3 and as well as hence left the premises reluctantly. The millenium clock is grotesque as well as clever as well as the animations when each hr chimed are awesome:
The clock tower is similar a medieval cathedral, 10 metres high. It is a summary of the best as well as worst of the twentieth century. The intricate animation has 4 sections: The Crypt, The Nave, The Belfry as well as The Spire. Each has its ain stories.
Higher is The Belfry, which has the clock as well as the Requiem, a circle of twelve figures. Each represents a calendar month, every bit good every bit a hardship or tragedy that has afflicted humanity, from state of war to famine, slavery to persecution. Right at the top is The Spire, as well as a bell. H5N1 figure stands at the really top, a woman someone figure carrying a dead man. This is the Pietà, from the Italian for compassion as well as pity. It acts every bit a symbol for what has gone earlier as well as the forcefulness nosotros demand to displace forward.
The Crypt at the base of operations of the tower houses wheels as well as chains. Two figures are at the pump of this section: an oak figure of an Ancient Spirit as well as the colourful, mischievous Egyptian Monkey.
The Nave holds a pendulum with a skeleton on a convex mirror. Distorted figures of Lenin, Hitler as well as Stalin human activity every bit a reminder of the worst aspects of the twentieth century. But in that location is celebration of amend times, too, with a playground of animated characters, including a Chaplin-like figure.
