Book Description

Excerpt from Castle Memories Twenty Tales of Edinburgh Castle The pride of Edinburgh is her Castle. These Sketches are written in the hope that they may help to make familiar some of the many stirring episodes in the Castle's long story, knowledge of which intensifies the pride which Scotsmen feel, when they look upon the most famous fortress of their land. In preparing the Sketches many chronicles, well known and little known, have been con sulted; but a special debt is owing to the late james Grant, whose Memorials Of the Castle of Edinburgh, published Sixty years ago and now out of print, first suggested the idea of the present book, and guided the writer to.
