Edinburgh Castle  -  The Interior Quadrangle

The book, Modern Athens, reports: 

"This ancient building has sometimes been a palace, sometimes a prison of princes. ..."

"This view shows the Parliament-house on the south side of the courtyard..  The door leading to the apartment where Queen Mary was confined; also the room where the regalia was discovered."

"We also learn, from the appearance of dates inscribed on the walls, that these apartments were repaired at different times up to 1616."
