What is recorded here

Edinburgh Castle, Queen Mary's Room is a 15th-century outbuilding on the castle rock, old enough that its stones have watched every storm and every soldier pass. The chamber may have given warmth, witness or warning to whoever stood inside when the city glittered below. Its small size makes it memorable because so much of Edinburgh still turns around that rock, and this room belongs to the same unbroken line.
