Weapons, Great Hall, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland

Weaponry on display, including swords and halberds, in James IV’s Great Hall, 1503-13, the chief assembly hall in the castle, on Crown Square, in Edinburgh Castle on Castle Rock, Edinburgh, Scotland. The Great Hall was used as a military barracks in the 17th and 18th centuries and as a military hospital in the 19th century, then restored by Hippolyte Blanc, 1844-1917, to medieval style. The first royal castle built here was under David I in the 12th century, and the site has been built on, attacked and defended ever since. The castle now houses military museums and the National War Museum of Scotland and is run by Historic Scotland. Picture by Manuel Cohen
