The Edinburgh castle has become a recognisable symbol of
Edinburgh, and of Scotland. It appears, in stylized form, on the coats of arms
of the City of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh. Images of the castle
are used as a logo by organisations including Edinburgh Rugby, the Edinburgh
Evening News, Hibernian F.C. and the Edinburgh Marathon. It also appears on the
"Castle series" of Royal Mail postage stamps, and has been
represented on various issues of banknotes issued by Scottish clearing banks.
In the 1960s the castle was illustrated on £5 notes issued
by the Royal Bank of Scotland, and since 1987 it has featured on the reverse of
£1 notes also issued by the Royal Bank. In 1997 the Clydesdale Bank issued a
special commemorative £20 note which included an illustration of Edinburgh
Castle. The castle is one of the focal points for the annual fireworks display
which marks Edinburgh's annual Hogmanay (New Year) celebrations.
Now for 2013, Edinburgh Castle is going to entertain you at
