To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the murder of Rizzio, Queen Mary lived here for a time, no doubt considering it doubly safe by reason of its nearness to the Castle, and from its secret chamber. A movable panel gave entrance to this chamber, the exit from which wound around the wall of a spiral staircase. This hiding place was only dis- covered when the palace was torn down to make room for the Free Church College.
^ ^ 3i M Q CO > The Castle Hill and Lawnmarket 265 On the front of a fine old stone " land " which formerly... stood at the head of Blyth's Close, wherein was the Guise Palace, was the inscription " LAVS DEO," with the date 1 59 1, in curiously wrought iron letters. This building was the residence of a succession of wealthy burgesses, but its chief interest lies in the remarkable decorations of its interior.
There is reason to believe that this house originally was part of the Guise Palace.
Some years ago there was discovered under a modem lath and plaster ceiling in a room on the second floor, a series of sacred paintings on wood, of a very curious and interesting character.
