Comment: This is the "1 O'Clock Cannon" which is fired everyday at 1 pm.
drummers_castle * Here are the drummers, with a nice shot of the castle behind them. * 640 x 480 * (124KB)

view_lower_castle_wall_princesSt * Once we got in the castle, I went to the lower castle wall and took this picture looking out over the armament cannons. I did this because this is similar to the picture of the caslte that was in the beginning of the slide show, but in reverse. Princes St. Gardens are below, with that guy on the horse, who I didn't recognize. * 640 x 480 * (126KB)

lower_wall_to_scott_memorial * Here is the view from the lower wall again, but this time with the Scott memorial in the background. Also, you can see part of the cannon in the bottom of the shot, and I think that's Loch Ness in the way background. * 640 x 480 * (124KB)

withincastle * This is what some of the inside of the castle looked like. * 640 x 480 * (126KB)

higher_wall_scott_mem * This is another shot from the castle wall with the Scott memorial in the background. I thought the cannons below were pretty cool. * 640 x 480 * (127KB)

dog_cemetary_castle * This is the military dog cemetary in the castle, where certain military dogs are commemorated and buried. Another great example of the Scottish love for pooches. * 640 x 480 * (132KB)

1oclockgun_view_scottMem_and_loch * There are two levels of castle wall, and this picture is from the higher wall. It's similar to the shot from the lower wall that shows the Scott memorial, and was taken to emphasize that the high wall is, well, high up. * 640 x 480 * (118KB)

castle_religious * Here is one side of the cathedral within the castle. * 640 x 480 * (128KB)

front_castle_cathedral_courtyard_betweenCathandRoyalapts * When we got to the courtyard, there was a bagpiper in full highland regalia to greet us. He is standing infront of the cathedral's front from teh last picture. On the other side of this courtyard are the royal hall and royal apartments. In one of the rooms, Mary Queen of Scots purportedly gave birth to James IV. Right behind where I took this picture is the room that houses the crown jewels of Scotland, which are the second oldest in Europe. The crown jewels consist of a crown, sword, orb and scepter, and leading up to the room was an interesting museum documenting their history. * 640 x 480 * (125KB)

greatHall * This is a picture of the great hall in the castle. For some reason, the flash didn't help... * 640 x 480 * (118KB)
