Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland. Le Castel d'Edinbourg, Ecosse, Catillo de Edimburgo, Edimburgo, Escocia. Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, can claim the posses- sion of one of the finest castles in the world. The precipitous mass of rocks upon which the Castle is built includes an area of 7 acres, and a height of about 400 feet. Its earliest history is a bit doubtful, but the Castle is supposed to have ben erected about 617. According to an old legend the ish Kings used this Castle as a place of safety for their womarried daughters, which gave it the name of "Castle of Madens." In course of time the Castle became a powerful fortress, also the residence of Scottish Kings and Queens. Mary, Queen of Scots, lived for a time at the Castle, and here her son, James, was born. Of the present view Haw- thorne has said, "I went down into the valley between the old town and the new, which is now laid out as an orna- mented garden with grass, shrubbery, flowers, gravelled walks and frequent seats.

Queen Margaret's Chapel-the oldest and smallest in Scot land occupies the highest point of the Castle grounds. It was built in the eleventh century by Margaret, wife of Mal colm Canmore. The famous cannon, Mons Meg, stands in front of this Chapel. It weighs five tons, and was used at the storming of the Castles of Dumbarton and Norham, on the Borders, in 1489-97. Stoddard, also, speaks with en thusiasm of the view of the Castle from the Princes Street garden, saying, "It is a pleasing, and certainly not an un profitable occupation for the tourist to sit in his hotel window on Princes Street, and watch the lingering twilight of the North climb slowly up that perpendicular rock, and finally leave it in the care of Night as it has done, day after day so many million times, since a caprice of Nature placed See Bacdeker's Great Britain.
