Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh
Officially the Chapel is known as the Collegiate Church of St. Matthew and is an active Scottish Episcopal Church. Building of the Chapel was begun in 1446 by William St. Clair, third (and last) Prince of Orkney, Scotland. For it’s time, the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance era, Rosslyn Chapel was ambitious and extraordinary, particularly in terms of the architectural design.
The original intention of the creator was for a cruciform Church with a tower at the centre to be built. However, the design and form of the building that we see today is much developed from William St. Clair’s initial intent. His progress was slow; attention to detail and striving for perfection took precedence over speed, which left the Chapel with only the east walls, the walls for the choir and the foundations for the nave finished by the time of his death in 1484.

Craigmillar Castle, Edinburgh
The original tower house of the late 1300s is at the core. Craigmillar was among the first of this type of castle to be built in Scotland. The courtyard wall, built in the 1400s, is well preserved, with gunholes shaped like inverted keyholes. A private family chapel and other secondary buildings lie inside the wall.
Queen Mary’s Room, on the first floor of the tower house, is where Mary Queen of Scots is said to have slept in 1566. But it’s more likely that she had a multi-roomed apartment when she stayed at Craigmillar, probably in the east range.
Owner Sir Simon Preston was a loyal supporter of Mary, who had appointed him Provost of Edinburgh. Ironically, he would become her jailer for her first night as a prisoner after her capture in 1567. Mary was taken from his townhouse in the High Street to Lochleven Castle the next day.

⭐Tantallon Castle is a semi-ruined mid-14th-century fortress, located in Scotland. The last medieval curtain wall castle to be constructed in Scotland, Tantallon comprises a single wall blocking off the headland, with the other three sides naturally protected by sea cliffs. Tantallon was built in the mid 14th century by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas. It was passed to his illegitimate son and despite several sieges, it remained the property of his descendants for much of its history. It was besieged by King James IV in 1491, and again by his successor James V in 1528, when extensive damage was done. Tantallon saw action in the First Bishops' War in 1639, and again during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651, when it was once more severely damaged.⭐
