The Story Wall
Map point four:
Here on a canvas of volcanic rock we set out some of the extraordinary and the lesser-known stories of the Castle drawn from records old and new.
There’s a lot to take in and its a fast-moving story so enjoy the open space and feel free to watch a couple of times.
Don’t forget to take in the view from the Argyle Battery opposite, the first great panorama of a castle visit.
