Title
Ancient porch of Holyroodhouse
Description
A large arched entry porch with a vaulted ceiling leads into Holyroodhouse. A watchtower is on one side of the entrance with a tower topped by a spire on the other. Crenellated ramparts join the two towers. There is a second less grand arched entrance way joined to the main entrance by wall suffering disrepair. Two figures can be seen in the street beyond this. Soldiers on horseback stand to attention as horse-drawn carriages drive by. Two of the riders are wearing hats. The carriages are ornately carved. A man stands in the foreground wearing a hat and carrying a stick.
