Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH EDINBURGH CASTLE – GATEHOUSE, INNER BARRIER AND OLD GUARDHOUSE BRIEF DESCRIPTION The present Gatehouse, built in 1886–88, is the latest in a series of main entrances into the castle. Replacing a far simpler gate, the Victorian structure was seen as a bold intervention at the time. It is surrounded by a number of lesser constructions; the oldest, including the Inner Barrier, date from the later 17th century, and the latest, the ticket office, was constructed as recently as 2008. Archaeological investigations in the area in 1989, in advance of creating the vehicle tunnel through the castle rock, uncovered evidence for two massive Iron Age ditches in the area. CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT Historical Overview Late 1st millennium BC: Two massive ditches are dug on the east side of the castle rock, presumably as part of a scheme to upgrade the defences of the prehistoric fort. The ditches are still serving a defensive function into the 14th century. 1649/50: The ‘forte of the castell hill’, or Spur, built in 1548 on the site of the present Esplanade, is dismantled and removed.

Introduction 1. Introduction Memorials of many types have been erected at various times in the past to commemorate battles and to remember the fallen from conflicts. However, war memorials became much more common following the First World War. The scale of the losses suffered in the War and the many soldiers whose fate remained unknown or uncertain left those at home with a sense of shared grief. There was hardly a parish or community in Britain where a husband, son or father had not been lost and the war memorials erected in their honour are a focal point in towns and villages throughout the country.

  • Sturrock 1885 -1953
    A R Sturrock 1885 -1953 Introduction Alexander Riddell Sturrock, always known as Alick was born at 26 Craigmillar Park in the Newington district of Edinburgh on 10 June 1885. Although he lived for much of his life in the city, Alick’s roots were deep in the Borders countryside. His mother’s family, the Riddells, had farmed at the Rink, a substantial farm by the Tweed between Selkirk and Galashiels since before 1850 and before that in the vicinity of the hamlet of Riddell. His father Alexander, who had come to Edinburgh to follow a career with the British Linen Bank, was the son of the Minister of the Original Secession Church at Midlem, near Selkirk. Alick was the youngest of four children of Katherine and Alexander Sturrock and attended George Watson’s College, leaving school in 1902 at the age of 17 to take an apprenticeship with a firm of lithographers. However, he soon began to take night classes at the old School of Art at the Mound. Later he attended the Royal Scottish Academy Life Class, where fellow students included the Dumfries born painter, Eric Robertson, A B Thomson and D M Sutherland, before enrolling at the new Edinburgh College of Art1. It was at this time too, that he would have got to know Cecile Walton and Dorothy Johnstone and would have first met Mary Newbery. In 1909 Alick had his first work accepted for exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy, The Valley of the Ettrick, a work, which recalls his Border roots and set his course as a painter of lowland landscapes.

The work was so carefully done that the labour of editing has been almost negligible. The late Historian of the Society had already, in the first volume, covered the period from 1756 to 1806 and this book now brings the records of the Society down to 1856, thus completing the first hundred years of its existence. Many of the sketches, no doubt, tell only inadequately of the lives of these early members and it must be remembered by those who read them that it is due to the utmost patience and diligence on the part of Dr.

Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH EDINBURGH CASTLE – SCOTTISH NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL BRIEF DESCRIPTION The Scottish National War Memorial was opened in 1927 by HRH the duke of Rothesay (the future Edward VIII) as the nation’s tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War I (the Great War). Formed from the shell of the 1755 North Barracks, regarded as symbolic in itself, the Memorial comprises two principal elements – the Hall of the Regiments (now known as the Hall of Honour), in which the enormous contribution made by Scotland’s twelve regiments and the other corps and services are recorded; and beyond it the Shrine, wherein lies the steel casket containing the complete Roll of Honour of the Scottish dead from the Great War. The Scottish National War Memorial was designed by Robert S Lorimer, among the foremost architects of his day, and created by an outstanding team of some 200 artists, craftsmen and labourers. Lorimer enriched the exterior of the building with variations on ancient Scottish architectural detail, and encrusted it with sculpture idealising the ‘just war’, culminating above the front door with a figure rising from a phoenix, symbolising the survival of the spirit.

Introduction 1. Introduction Memorials of many types have been erected at various times in the past to commemorate battles and to remember the fallen from conflicts. However, war memorials became much more common following the First World War. The scale of the losses suffered in the War and the many soldiers whose fate remained unknown or uncertain left those at home with a sense of shared grief. There was hardly a parish or community in Britain where a husband, son or father had not been lost and the war memorials erected in their honour are a focal point in towns and villages throughout the country.
