Scotty was happy to now stand atop this castle of castles, Edinburgh Castle, and survey the city below. But first, you have to get up there. The castle is enormous and has a whole hilltop to itself, and it towers, or looms, over the city. And whenever they had seemed to finally arrive at the main fortress, there were yet more sloping courtyards with more buildings above them. Why so many buildings? Well the castle began as a stronghold against the dastardly English.

Loch Ness and The Cairngorms with Scotland The Brave
Scotty looked out on the magnificent view in hopes of spying Heiland Coos, Monarchs of the Glen, and sundry mythical beasties. He saw hares popping in and out of the many holes in the paddock below. He saw sheep trudging up the distant mountain in the rain. He saw the little waterfalls and rivulets up there. He saw the sheep trudging down the hillsides in the rain. But no hairy coos at all.
