Tuck's "Oilette" series Here is a postcard from the Raphael Tuck & Sons' "Sepia" Edinburgh series (2144). This card has not been sent through the post. |

Tuck's description on the back of this card reads: "Edinburgh Castle is an ancient and historic building situated on a precipitous hill in the centre of the town. This almost impregnable position has made the hill the site of a castle from very early times. Up these heights Claverhouse climbed to interview Gordon with a view to persuading him to raise his standard on behalf of James Stuart. The ancient Scottish regalia is stored here." |
