Tuck's
description on the back
of this card reads:
"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.
Up these heights, Claverhouse climbed to
interview Gordon, with the object of persuading him to raise his standard
on behalf of James Stuart. The ancient Scottish regalia is stored
here."
The title on the front of this card is "Edinburgh Castle from Castle
Terrace.
However, the view is in fact "Edinburgh Castle from Johnstone Terrace".
