Back into Edin- burgh agaîn, and claimant upor us a sight-seeing tour via bus with an interpreter of the historie places. At thc starting point, the Wav- Ierly railway station, a locomotive is puffing its way north tirough a canyon in miniature which in the days cf feudai strife and bit- ter warfarc between English and Scot constituted a moat, a bastion of water wiich on the Castie's eastern side rcndercd it virtuaily impregnable. At night the draw- bridge was ciosed te, keep eut the marauder. Owing ta tie indus- trial zeal cf the Caledonians, plus the dlaims of more peaceful times, the old moat was dried up, thc drawbridge rendered unneces- sary, and now the railway consti- tutes the line cf demarcation be- twecn Old Edinburgh te tie west and New Edinburgh to the east. The guide very skilfully informs us cf ail this. Threading our way through narrow streets in the oid part cf the city, St. Giles' Cathed- rai clamors for recognition. Dis- cord has often reared its bead witiin as weil as witiout the "Kirk of Saint Geiles." Oniy for a brief and fitful seasan, during the seventeenth century, was it a cathedral. For here, with the flinging of Jenny Geddes' stool at the head cf the Dean in 1637, began the commotions cf the Ccv- enant. St. Giles has been described as the "most time-honored and re- nowned of tic memerials cf old Idinburgh." Its Gathie crown has for more than five centuries been the chief and central orna- ment cf the High Street.

It bas been put to baeas well as noble uses, for parts of it have served as fort- ress, court bouse, Parliament Hall, prison, police office, weaving shop and place cf detention for witchcs awaiting the stake.
