A castle in Edinburgh, Scotland.

About

The walls of this old royal palace still hold the voices of the ancients. Standing atop Castle Rock, Scotland's history drifts by on the wind. Walking through the castle's corridors, the traces of a past royal court seem etched into the brick and stone. Once a military fortress, this place has now become an exhibition space bearing the weight of time, its traces carried forward by the Honours of Scotland and the relics of the National War Memorial. This castle is not merely a structure, but a space steeped in the memory of many wars, of royal power, and of a nation. Visitors here feel a sense of past and present intersecting, and feel the wind through which Scotland's history flows.
