CASTLES

Edinburgh Castle

  Here we see a semi-circle of cannons on 
 the outer wall of this castle in Scotland. 
  This castle sits on the peak of an
 extinct volcano. Inside the castle is
 St. Margaret's Church, a Norman church
 dating back to the 12th century. 
  Mary Queen of Scots lived here for a 
 time. Also, The Scottish Crown Regalia
 (sword of state, crown, and scepter)
 were hidden here for many years and are
 now on display. 


Warwick Castle

 Certainly one of the largest castles
 in England, it is also one of the
 oldest. The first fortress was built
 on the spot in 914, and in the next 
 century, the Normans built a wooden
 castle there (soon replaced by a
 stone one). Most of the older parts
 of the present-day castle date from
 the 14th century. The dungeons of  
 Caesar's Tower are a must see.
