Every one talks of the Castle in Edinburgh, and the boys paid theirfirst visit to it, and saw it in its morning glory. On the highest plat-form of the Castle, three hundred and eighty-three feet above the sea,stands the celebrated old cannon Mons Meg, made in Mons, in Brit-tany, in i486. It had figured in so many wars and historic scenes, thatthe Scottish people came to regard it as a national relic. The site ofthe Castle is about seven hundred feet in circumference, and on threesides it seems just a bare rock, rising almost perpendicularly in air. The boys next visited Arthurs Seat, a high rock on the top of ahill, in which there is a fancied resemblance to a chair. Oueen Victoria. HOLYROOD PALACE. \NDS.
