The stone of which it is built, though exposed to the weather for so many ages, retains perfect sharpness, so that even the most minute ornaments seem as entire as when newly wrought. The Abbey is the theme of a poem by Arthur Hallam, who dwells especially on its resistance to decay, and covets a similar tardy waning,...
Strana 26 - ... now a noble arm of the sea, with its rocks, isles, distant shores, and boundary of mountains; and now a fair and fertile champaign country, varied with hill, dale, and rock, and skirted by the picturesque ridge of the Pentland Mountains.
Strana 76 - The walls enclose a considerable extent of ground, and prove it to have been once a strong and important fortress. It was garrisoned for the King in the reign of Charles I., and became one of the last supports of the royal cause in this part of the kingdom. The lodgings of the Constable of the Castle are now the county gaol.
