Edinburgh Castle, As It Was Before the Siege of 1573,1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the magnificent Edinburgh Castle as it stood before the devastating siege of 1573. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their work allows us a glimpse into the castle's rich history. During the 15th century, Edinburgh Castle served as an arsenal and armaments factory, playing a crucial role in Scotland's military defense. After King James IV tragically fell at Flodden Field in 1513, extensive improvements were made to fortify its defenses. The circular shape of this medieval fortress stands proudly atop Castle Rock against a backdrop of lush Scottish landscape. Its imposing entrance beckons visitors to explore its historic halls and battlements. Intriguingly framed within the pages of "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier, this engraving captures not only architectural details but also offers insight into Scotland's past military might. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene from the late 19th century, we are reminded that Edinburgh Castle is more than just a structure; it represents centuries of Scottish heritage and resilience. This image transports us back through time to witness an era when soldiers patrolled these very grounds and brave men defended their country with unwavering loyalty. Let this photograph serve as a reminder that even amidst changing times, Edinburgh Castle remains an enduring symbol of strength and national pride for all Scots.
