Edinburgh, Holyrood Palace, Chapel Royal — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Holyrood Palace and Chapel Royal stand in Edinburgh as a medieval chapel where kings and queens still worship beneath stone ceilings old enough to remember every monarch who knelt there. The chamber feels less like a museum and more like a living room for ghosts, because each prayer spoken there added another layer of breath to the walls. People may wonder whether the kings heard answers or only their own hearts echoing back, but the chapel kept both kinds of truth without judging them.
