Scotland 2007

In August 2007 I participated in a tour of Scotland organized by WDAV, Charlotte's classical radio station. While there I visited many monarchical sites, some of which are pictured here.


St. Margaret's Chapel, Edinburgh Castle, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, built by King David I (r. 1124-53) in memory of his mother, Queen St. Margaret (d. 1093)


Palace of Holyroodhouse, HM the Queen's official residence in Scotland
