Donncha Ó CaoimhA Selfie with Deacon BrodieWhat! You’re looking at your phone! I imagine Deacon Brodie would be amazed at technology today.Apparently he was a “respected cabinetmaker by day and a burglar by night, making him one of Edinburgh’s most notorious historical figures”<a href="https://inphotos.org/2025/05/08/a-selfie-with-deacon-brodie/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inphotos.org/2025/05/08/a-selfie-with-deacon-brodie/</a><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Edinburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Edinburgh</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scotland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/StreetPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StreetPhotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/a8cTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a8cTravel</a>

DonnchaVisitors in The Great HallThe Great Hall in Edinburgh Castle is a popular part of the castle, with visitors milling around throughout the day. Here’s some info about the hall that I got from Perplexity. Sources are linked and makes for an interesting read. I was surprised it didn’t mention that Oliver Cromwell preserved the roof when he had it plastered over. That was something the guide mentioned.<blockquote>History of the Great Hall in Edinburgh CastleThe Great Hall at Edinburgh Castle is a remarkable structure completed in 1511 for King James IV of Scotland.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/see-and-do/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">2</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/discover/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">6</a> This medieval wonder measures 29 by 12.5 metres (95 by 41 ft) and served as the chief place of state assembly within the castle.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a> While historians have occasionally disagreed about its exact dating, it is generally attributed to the early years of the 16th century during James IV’s reign.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a>Architectural FeaturesThe hall’s most distinctive feature is its magnificent wooden roof, considered one of the most superb in Britain.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/see-and-do/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">2</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/discover/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">6</a> It features giant beams resting on stones carved with heads and symbols such as the thistle, a national badge of Scotland.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/see-and-do/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">2</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/discover/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">6</a> This is one of only two medieval halls in Scotland that still retains its original hammerbeam roof.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a> The decorative carved stone corbels supporting the roof display Renaissance detailing comparable to works at Blois, France, from around 1515, indicating that Scottish arts were relatively advanced for the time.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a>Historical TimelineJames IV had little opportunity to enjoy his new grand hall, as he was killed just two years later at the Battle of Flodden in 1513, fighting against the forces of his brother-in-law, King Henry VIII of England.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/discover/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">6</a>During its early years, the Great Hall hosted grand banquets and state events, though there is no evidence that the Scottish Parliament ever met here, despite some common misconceptions.<a href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/see-and-do/highlights/the-great-hall" rel="nofollow noopener

rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">6</a>A significant change came in 1650 when Oliver Cromwell’s army captured Edinburgh Castle and began transforming the Great Hall into a military barracks.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/see-and-do/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">2</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

target="_blank">5</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/discover/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">6</a> By 1737, the hall was subdivided into three storeys to accommodate 312 soldiers.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a>Following the construction of New Barracks in the 1790s, the Great Hall was converted into a military hospital.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a> It continued in this function until the troops finally left in 1886/1897 (sources vary slightly on the exact date).<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

target="_blank">5</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/discover/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">6</a>After its military use ended, the Great Hall was restored to its medieval splendour by architect Hippolyte Blanc, who worked according to contemporary Victorian ideas of medieval architecture.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank">5</a> Today, the hall displays weapons and armour that reference its military past, including distinctive pole arms like the feared Lochaber axe.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.edinburghcastle.scot/see-and-do/highlights/the-great-hall" target="_blank">2</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"
