Title
Edinburgh Castle from Grassmarket
Description
Edinburgh Castle sits on a rocky outcrop. The fortification has a half-moon battery with gun loops in its walls. The Castle is surrounded by defensive walls some of which are crenellated. Watchtowers are positioned along the battlements, including the Esplanade. Below the sloping ground from the Castle are several levels of buildings including those of the Grassmarket. On the cobbled road there are horse-drawn carts, one without its horse, and a handcart. Bordering the road is a pavement which has street lighting along it. There are shops with shop front window displays, hotels and other establishments.
