圣十字架宫是王室血腥历史的见证。历史上有名的苏格兰玛丽女王——号称当时最美丽的女人就曾住在城堡塔楼中。玛丽15岁嫁给法国王室,19岁丈夫去世又回到苏格兰,在民众拥戴中登上王位。玛丽女王在叛变中失掉王位并逃往英格兰,囚禁19年后被处死。玛丽女王的秘书在塔楼中被刺56刀而死,现在这里还立着一块指示牌。这就不难理解为什么圣十字架宫会经常传出闹鬼的传闻了。

❤ HINTS:
George IV
Highland Dress
英式拼法,以音频内容为准
In the interest of looking authentically Scottish, he was also fully accessorised.
This is George IV's dirk, to go with his Highland Dress outfit. The dirk hangs from a belt and so it would be a very showy piece of equipment, hanging to his side.
It's a fantastically ornate piece, isn't it? Can you unsheathe it from its scabbard? Give it a good tug.
Oh, look at that.
Here we are.
Wow.
It is very elaborate, as you see. And just look what's on the end here.
Oh, my word, what is that?
That's a type of emerald.
What a corker. It's colossal.
It is, but imagine how splendid it would have looked hanging from his belt.
And then the scabbard itself is amazingly ornate as well.
The scabbard is applied with gold and we've got, again, the Scottish coat of arms, more thistles.
Yes, it's festooned with thistles, isn't it? Look at that.好奇的看看真正的苏格兰人,他也是佩戴着相当多的东西。
这是乔治五世的短剑,搭配着他的外套,短剑挂在腰带上,所以这将会是一个挂在外面的非常显眼的东西。
这是一个装饰极其华丽的东西,不是吗?
你能从剑鞘中拔出它吗?
用力拉,喔!看看这!
哇!
就如你看到的,它的制作十分的精细,只看看这头有什么?
我的天啊,那是什么?
那是一种绿宝石
难以置信!这么大的宝石!
正是,但是想想当它被挂在腰带上时,它看起来会是多么的华丽。剑鞘的本身也是让人惊讶的,如此华丽的装饰。剑鞘镀着金,我们再次看到了苏格兰的纹章,更多的蓟。
是的,它有蓟装饰的花边
