What do you picture in your mind when you hear the word “Scotland”? Bagpipes? Kilts? Mysterious lochs?
Scotland is a land of monuments, green valleys, legends, and ancient castles. It has beautiful bridges and green parks. Its capital, Edinburgh, is built on the hills. More than 340 million years ago, there was an active volcano in that area, and later there appeared hills on which the Old Town stands. The fortress, Din Eidyn, was built on the top of the rock. The fortress became the Castle of Edinburgh, the national symbol of Scotland. The castle was the residence of the Scottish kings and queens. There is, for example, a room where Mary Stuart gave birth to her only son, the future King James I of Scotland and England. Also, you can see the Crown of the Scottish kings and queens and the Stone of Destiny there. It is a big grey stone which was used when Scottish and later British kings and queens were crowned.
The Royal Mile is a beautiful string of historic streets. The houses there are three or four hundred years old! Their stones can tell us about the past. There is a unique monument to a dog, as well. This is a statue of a small terrier, Bobby, that stayed at the grave of his master every day for 14 years.
The Holyrood Palace is the royal family’s official residence now. But this was the place where Mary Stuart lived during the years of her short reign.
In general, there are many places of interest in Edinburgh that can tell us a lot about Scotland and its capital. They make Scotland beautiful and romantic. [5, c. 223]
