Scotland Pics, Second Batch

The entrance to the castle.


Edinburgh Castle is seriously old (12th century), and it's served as a fortress many times. As such, it looks nothing like later palace-style castles. I really loved all the moss growing on its walls.

Gateway into another section of the castle.


To the right in this pic is St. Margaret's Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh. Early 12th century and still standing! I thought that was pretty damn impressive for being situated in a castle that's been attacked and laid siege to so many times.
