Edinburgh Castle
30th January 1954: Edinburgh Castle at night with a memorial cross dedicated to Dean Ramsey in the foreground. Edinburgh Castle became a royal residence when James I was murdered in Perth (1437) and his widow, Joan Beaufort, moved the Royal Court and her son, James II, to Edinburgh. The oldest part of the building is St Margarets Chapel dating from c.1100 and named after King Malcolm IIIs wife. The chapel only survived Robert the Bruces attack in 1313 because he ordered his men to leave it untouched. The Scottish crown jewels, the Honours of Scotland, are also on display there having been discovered by Sir Walter Scott after having been hidden during the time of Oliver Cromwell.
