Tuck's
description on the back
of this card reads:
"The Castle and National Gallery.
Edinburgh Castle is an ancient and historical building situated on a
precipitous hill in the centre of the town.
This almost impregnable position has made this
hill the site of a castle from very early times. The Scottish
regalia is stored here.
Below it on an artificial mound are the
handsome buildings of the Royal Institution and the National Gallery,
founded 1823 and 1850 respectively, and both designed by W H Playfair."
